www.BODYRESEARCH.org/proxax

---------------------------------

AXOLOTL -- A participatory performance experience, psychological and kinesthetic: be blindfolded for 2 hours of exploration of self and other

July 26, August 9, 10 in San Francisco (8PM at Million Fishes, 23rd and Bryant)
July 28, August 2 in Santa Cruz (8PM at the Vet's Hall, 846 Front St)

"I left the theater shell-shocked.
It was easily the oddest, most surprising performance experience I've ever had. And, against all expectations, one of the most rewarding."
BRENDAN KILEY, The Stranger (Seattle 2005)

-----------------------------------------

PROXIMITY (premier) -- an exploration of social distance, connection, and disconnection. The audience wanders a convoluted space witnessing shifting relationships amongst an ensemble of performers. Watch safely from a distance or get a better look up close and risk getting involved.

July 27, August 5, 11, 12 -- San Francisco (8pm at 1800 Illinois St)
July 29, Aug 4 -- Santa Cruz (8pm at 418 Project, 418 Front St)

"... fascinating; awkward, tender, and violent movement combined with snippets of dialog and swiftly built-up characters and
relationships, creating social and sexual conflicts with an almost unnerving intimacy... utterly compelling. "
BRETT FETZER, The Stranger (Seattle April 2004){about research work for Proximity}

---------------------------------
