"Disarray"

"Disarray" is a poetic foray into chaos theory. I've beent thinking about chaos in regards to society – how we as humans evolve, have evolved, how we’ve developed our civilizations. Patterns, form, conform. Where’s the chaos? In the rebellion, the intuition, the radical thinkers, the expressers, the artists??? And what about the chaos due to the sheer mass of us? Is 'pattern' about organizing? How do we organize for what we want? Or what we don’t want, like a war in Iraq?

What is it about pattern that is so attractive to some? Why are others more comfortable in chaos?

Kristin Hapke/tindance from New York city will be opening our show. She will be presenting "Cinder," an evocative solo that charts memory through a surreal landscape. Kristin's work investigates the dynamic performance potential of the body within the genres of dance theater, visceral physicality and improvisation. Hapke’s work has been produced in New York at The Joyce Soho, Dancespace, Dance New Amsterdam and Movement Research; in Seattle at On the Boards and Velocity’s Mainstage; in Portland and Eugene, OR, as well as internationally in Vancouver, Amsterdam and Poland.

Kristin rocks – you'll be happy you caught her.
