SF Intl. Arts Festival: Dance Elixir (Shared Bill)
Dear Audience Members,
The dance presentations by Nina Haft and Company and Dance Elixir at the San Francisco International Arts Festival will continue as planned. However, it is with regret that we must inform you that the Iraqi Bodies company will not be performing at the Festival this weekend.
Although our petition to the U.S. Government to bring the company here was approved on April 28 and they were interviewed at the U.S. Consulate in Amsterdam on May 13 the final clearance has not been received for two of the four company members. As such, they will not be able to travel to the United States in time to perform for us this weekend.
We are continuing to push for a successful resolution of their case in time for them to travel to Seattle next week, but sadly they will not be performing in San Francisco.
This weekend's schedule of performances at the Southside Theatre will now be as follows:
Fri 3 June, 8pm
Nina Haft & Company T:Here
Dance Elixir Quieting Heart
(Lars J. Brouwer - live electronics & Leyya Tawil - dance)
Sat 4 June, 8pm
Nina Haft & Company T:Here
Dance Elixir THIEVES (work-in-progress showing)
Sun 5 June, 4pm
Dance Elixir THIEVES (work-in-progress showing)
Sun 5 June, 7pm
Dance Elixir Quieting Heart
(Ava Mendoza - guitar & Leyya Tawil - dance)
We hope you will still be able to join us for the performances this weekend.
For more information on the new program line-up, please call our offices at 415-399-9554.
Thank you again for your support of the Festival.
Sincerely,
Andrew Wood

The Quieting Heart project is a series of situation-based works that began in 2010 at a residency in an Austrian farmhouse. Quieting Heart has since enjoyed presentations in Amsterdam, New York City, New Orleans and Detroit. Each work in the series is a container: a space to research silence and visibility from the witness perspective. Each work is referred to as "an attempt", and is ordered using only prime numbers (divisible by 1 and itself.) Each attempt is an immediate response to location and situation, taking the form of live performance, film and/or documented research. QH: Attempt #5, a fixed perspective dance film, received the 501ARTS.com Intersection Exhibition- Best of Oakland Award in 2010.
Quieting Heart: Attempt #29 for the San Francisco International Arts Festival 2011 is a duet for Tawil and experimental guitarist Ava Mendoza. They will play out questions of cultural significance versus signifier, while also regarding the relationship of witness/location within the context of this multi-national artistic forum.
