DOUBLE VISION Fundraiser

Innovative Performance for Traditional Needs #3

One hundred and sixty years ago gold seekers known as the forty-niners traveled to California by wagon, boat, and foot in the quest for riches. Miners turned millionaires donated their riches to little known performing art troupes in San Francisco. History repeats itself, or at least we are hoping, so spring your wealth at DOUBLE VISION’s annual fundraiser. We need some gold, or at least some buckets and a map, to support our artistic journeys and support upcoming innovate performance of high value.

The fundraiser will showcase performances by DOUBLE VISION dancers, old tune-y music by Sean Clute and live LoopyCam video performances by Tim Thompson. Our very own O-niners led by the unconquerable Nicole Zvarik, will entice you to join their gold-panning bootcamp, while the “Gold Rush Girls” video installation by Jessica Gomula will point the way toward bona-fide fortunes!

Funds for this event will be contributed toward DOUBLE VISION’s production of Hysteresis, a new dance performance that questions the relevance of virtuosity in contemporary performance. Phase 1 of the work will premiere in the Women on the Way Festival (January 2010) and Phase 2 of the work, which includes a team of five collaborators, will premiere April 9-11, 2010 at Dance Mission Theater in San Francisco.

DOUBLE VISION Artists: Blaine Bookey, Naomi Clark, Sean Clute, Jessica Gomula, Emily Gorman, Courtney Gulick, Pauline Jennings, Chris Kruzic, Wendy Marinaccio, Jennifer Mellor, Cecelia Peterson, Katie Polanshek, Jaime Rangeley, Nicole Zvarik, Tim Thompson.

Food, drinks, and auction items will be provided.
