CounterPULSE presents the premier of two new works by our Summer
Artists in Residence-- Paige Sorvillo and Sean Feit. Audiences are
invited to witness the creative process of these two innovative
choreographers, each of whom will be showing work completed during a
two-month residency at CounterPULSE. The opening night performance
will be followed by an audience feedback session with the artists.

these are my arms holding you, tearing you apart
by Paige Sorvillo with George Cremaschi
Choreographer Paige Sorvillo and bassist George Cremaschi create a
politically relevant, butoh-inspired meditation on the atrocities of
war. Through movement, sound and image, Sorvillo and Cremaschi mine
the territory of intimacy and disconnection, creating a gripping
examination of human violence. Both haunting and deeply visceral,
this piece offers a dream-like exploration of America's current
political moment.

when the heart's an empty room
by Sean Feit
Choreographer and musician Sean Feit presents a multimedia solo
performance piece exploring solitude and human connection. Working
with video images of dance community friends who have moved away,
Feit examines how the heart and body respond to distance. Through
music, dance and video, this richly textured piece evokes an inner
landscape saturated with memory and desire.

CounterPULSE is located just west of the corner of 9th Street and
Mission, at 1310 Mission Street (north side of Mission Street).

Here's how to get there...

BICYCLE: is the easiest way to get to CounterPULSE but we do not have
indoor bike parking, sorry! There are many parking meters nearby to
lock bikes to. You can also lock your bike inside the paid BART area
at the east end of the Civic Center BART station if you so choose.

by BART: Civic Center station, exit at 8th and Market, walk one block
west to 9th, turn left (south) and walk one block to Mission, and
then 20 feet right (west) to our front door.

by MUNI: 14 Mission runs directly in front, and we are just a one
block walk from Market Street where countless MUNI lines run. For
directions from the J, K, L, M, N, see BART above.

by GOLDEN GATE TRANSIT: Most Golden Gate Transit buses arriving from
Marin and Sonoma counties turn at 8th Street and Mission. We are one
block west of that corner.

by SAMTRANS: Routes MX and DX go down Mission and stop within a short
walk of our front door.

by AUTOMOBILE

from the East Bay: take the Bay Bridge to the 9th Street/Civic Center
exit. Drive north on 9th Street until you reach Mission. We are just
off the corner of this intersection.

from the Peninsula: take 101 north to 7th Street exit, proceed north
to Howard Street, turn left two blocks to 9th, and then right to
Mission.

from Marin and points north: Golden Gate Bridge, Lombard, Van Ness to
Civic Center. Turn left from Van Ness onto Fell Street, cross Market,
and proceed one block to Mission. Turn left on Mission and we are at
the other end of that block.

PARKING: All day parking is available behind our building at
Stevenson Alley and 9th, and for shorter visits the Civic Center
municipal garage under the Civic Center Plaza can be accessed by
continuing north on 9th Street, across Market onto Larkin, turn left
on McAllister, and then U-turn before Polk into the garage entrance.
For the shortest of visits there are a number of meters in our
neighborhood, but beware of the 4-6 p.m. TOWAWAY timehellip Park on a
meter along 9th between Howard and Mission if you can. Street parking
after 6pm and on Sundays is free and generally plentiful.
