            March 6 @ Mills College, Lisser Hall - 8pm

           
Audience members were welcomed to participate in creating this real-time radio collage.  Sounds from multiple internet radio streams were chosen by the changing position of the dancer and the collective movement of the audience.  Control was dispersed throughout the hall as the audience-performer relationship was complicated by mutual reactions to both visual and auditory content.

TheSPACE supports non-profits and artists through fundraising, promotion and community building. 

On November 10th 2007, theSPACE hosts its inaugural event, a fundraising party for the nonprofit group Bikes to Rwanda.

Bikes to Rwanda is dedicated to providing cargo bicycles to cooperative coffee farmers in Rwanda. During a coffee buying trip to Rwanda, coffee purveyor Duane Sorenson learned that many local farmers had recently organized cooperatives to process their own raw coffee crop.

December 14 - California College of the Arts (Oakland Campus)
    Interface Class Installation Exhibition

"The Butterfly Effect"

In this interactive video piece, participants assume dual roles simultaneously: that of audience & performer.  Intertwined and interdependent, each gesture sets off a chain reaction in an improvised progression of communication through light, movement, and play.  Each visitor is interacting with the electronic system, as well as with visitors in the other projection field, performing, spectating, and influencing alike.  Watch what you do with those wings!
