8X8X8

Paufve Dance

Cover 8

(OAKLAND, CA) – Paufve Dance presents the sixth edition of its 8x8x8 series at the Starry Plough Pub on Thursday, February 4th, 2010. 8x8x8 features eight choreographers in an (approximately) 8’ x 8’ space showing experimental, new, and repertory dance works at the Starry Plough Pub in Berkeley.
The first annual 8x8x8 took place in 2003 at the Stork Club in Oakland. By using a non-traditional performance venue, an unusually small space, and presenting work in close proximity to the audience, 8x8x8 seeks to bring contemporary dance to new audiences while experimenting with alternative presentation formats.
The evening will include a diverse array of dance forms framed in contemporary expression. Influences and forms that will reveal themselves over the course of the evening include Joti Singh’s blend of Bhangra, Bollywood, and West African dance; Kimiko Guthrie’s exquisite balance of movement and text; Mutt 49’s unusual and outlandish mix of music, dance and unruliness; Navarrete x Kajiyama’s experiments mixing modern dance theater with Japanese Taiko drumming, Tango, Danzón and more; Nina Haft & Company’s integration of movement, meaning and memory into an act of live cinema; project agora’s improvisational dialogue between contemporary sound and athletic, lush dancing; and Vitali Kononov’s mix of contemporary dance, physical theater, contact and improvisation
8x8x8 takes place Thursday, February 4th at 8:00pm. Audiences are welcome to come early or at show time and enjoy the Starry Plough’s bar fare and beers. Admission is $8 cash for those age 21 and over at the door. ID is required.
Calendar Listing and Artist Biographies follow on pages 2 & 3.

ABOUT PAUFVE DANCE:
Paufve | dance is a contemporary dance company based in Oakland, California. Established in 2000 by choreographer Randee Paufve, the company was founded as a vehicle to support the continued creation of innovative work and to further explore avenues for movement research, live performance and community outreach. Paufve’s work is based in the belief that dance is a language which can capture, describe, and illuminate every aspect of the human condition. Her research and choreography examines artifice, authenticity and objectivity in our bodies. Paufve’s vision and work reflect a feminist values, the desire for integration and the necessity of contemporary community building. For each project, she gathers a diverse core of dancers to explore the complex terrain of human relationships.
The company has been presented by many venues locally and nationally including The Mondavi Performing Arts Center, the West Wave Dance Festival, Max10 in Los Angeles; PICA (Portland Institute for Contemporary Art), On The Boards/Seattle, Joyce SoHo in NYC, the Dance Complex in Boston, and the Phantom Theater in Warren, VT. The company was nominated for an Isadora Duncan Dance Award for their July 2009 performance of That Obscure Subject of Desire in San Francisco and was recently featured on NPR’s All Things Considered.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
Joti Singh teaches, choreographs and performs Bhangra, Bollywood, and West African dance styles in the Bay Area as well as nationally and internationally. She founded performing group Duniya Dance and Drum Company in 2007. Joti has participated in the Alliance for California Traditional Arts Apprenticeship program and received their Traditional Arts Development grant. In the summer of 2008, Joti was an Artist-in-Residence at CounterPULSE and created the piece Dhoom Dhamaka about an innocent man imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay. With mentor Zenon Barron, Joti received the Margaret Jenkins CHIME grant and will collaborate with Zenon’s company, Ensambles Ballet Folklorico de San Francisco to create a piece on the Punjabi-Mexican communities of California, for which they have received a Creative Work Fund grant, and will present in late 2010. Joti holds an M.A. in South Asian Studies from UC Berkeley.

for Asian American Dance Performances, a member of the Margaret Jenkins Dance Company and has performed with many other Bay Area-based choreographers and companies. Her writing has been published in an anthology of short stories, Intersecting Circles, by the Bamboo Ridge Press. Kimiko holds an MFA in Choreography from Mills College and is a lecturer at Cal State East Bay. This year she is honored to be Artist-in-Residence at Shawl-Anderson Dance Center.
Rebecca Johnson began training and performing modern dance since 1985. She earned BA degrees in English Literature and Modern Dance from Rutgers University. Rebecca performed throughout New England, New York and New Jersey before relocating to the Bay Area in 1999 and since then has toured with Paufve Dance and Nina Haft & Company to Portland, San Diego, Vermont, Massachusetts and New York.

Mutt 49 is a quixotic quintet from beyond the beyond! Musical stylings you'll not hear anywhere else in this realm, by a divalicious, deitific, deranged and dainty bunch... Expect us in unexpected cultural crevasses throughout California in 2010 - 11, as we launch our first CD and public performance tour! All music, dance and unruliness created and performed by the band: Sterling Fresnell, Jedediah Strong, TipToe, The Conglomerate, and Bubbles Eek Balsteinovich, with back-up singer/dancers Black Acacia and Wisteria Rising. Mutt 49 has collaborated with Miyomi Najimoto, Dandelion Dancetheater, Melodica and more. Mutt 49 presents Into Glass at 8x8x8.
Navarrete x Kajiyama has a passion for immersing themselves in communities and sub-cultures, exploring people's histories, and expressing experiences through performance that is accessible, but that challenges the viewer to reflect on our times. Their modern dance theater vocabulary has been enriched by studies of Japanese Taiko drumming, Latin American social dances (such as Tango and Danzón), and the cultural significance of these community-building art forms. In 2006, Navarrete x Kajiyama was named one of the 25 to Watch by Dance Magazine. In 2007, they collaborated with visual artists from EastSide Arts Alliance, an organization of artists and community organizers of color in East Oakland to create the performance environment for The Revenge of Huitlacoche. That same year, Navarrete x Kajiyama was invited to present their work at the Hemispheric Institute on Performance and Politics' Encuentro in Buenos Aires, Argentina. In 2008, they were chosen to be the San Francisco representative for SCUBA Touring Network performances in Minneapolis, Philadelphia and Seattle.
Nina Haft & Company (NH&Co.) is a contemporary dance ensemble that integrates movement, meaning and memory into acts of live cinema. Artistic Director Nina Haft was an inaugural member of CHIME (Margaret Jenkins Choreographers in Mentorship Exchange); her work has also been supported by grants and residencies from the Djerassi Resident Artist Program, Shawl-Anderson Dance Center, the City of Oakland, the California Arts Council, the Zellerbach Family Foundation, the Clorox Foundation, CA$H, and many generous individuals. She has been profiled in Dance Magazine and toured nationally with her work in new Jewish performance. This spring, NH&Co. launches our first international tour to the Middle East, followed by our 10th Anniversary home season in fall 2010. Catch us next week at CSU East Bay's Queer Dance Festival on February 11th. NH&Co
The primary mission of project agora is to promote creative dialogue between artists through interdisciplinary collaborations. Co-founded in May 2006 by San Francisco dancers/ choreographers Bliss Kohlmyer Dowman & Kara Davis, this curatorial organization draws its mission from its Greek name: "Agora" (a public forum; a place designated specifically for open debate and the exchange of ideas). Drawing on a history of shared creation, performance, training and teaching, these two Bay Area artists join forces to promote their creative voices within the new generation of San Francisco choreographers. By presenting evenings that involve artists who challenge yet share similar influences and aesthetic values, project agora strives to illuminate how all forms of artistic expression both inform and are relevant to each other.
Vitali Kononov is a movement artist, bodyworker and somatic movement educator, working with improvisation as a performance discipline, therapeutic tool and a contemplative practice. He was born in St-Petersburg, Russia, in 1966. He has been teaching contact improvisation since 1997 in Russia, Europe, USA and Mexico. He studied contemporary dance, physical theater, contact and ensemble improvisation, Somatic Movement Therapy. He taught at Moving On Center – School for Participatory Arts and Somatic Research since 2002. He was a faculty member of ADF (2003-04). He has a private bodywork and ArtSomatic movement therapy practice in Berkeley, California.
