To begin with the ending already in sight, a dance performance and food event about desire
Fri, April 26 & Sat, April 27 at 8pm
Sun, April 28 at 7pm
Nina Haft & Company and Shawl-Anderson Dance Center's Dance Up Close/East Bay present the premiere of To begin with the ending already in sight, a performance installation of dance, sound, words and food in Berkeley. The show explores the experience of desire through the five senses.
To begin with the ending already in sight charts the experience of desire from fleeting sensations into palpable evidence of arousal: movement, words and relationships. The event integrates improvisation and choreography, with vigorous, rough, delicate and vulnerable movement. The evening is set up to invite audiences to witness the performers up close as they form alliances and break apart. The costume, scenic and lighting design for the evening hints at the lives that once inhabited the rooms of a private residence, now occupied by Shawl-Anderson Dance Center. Audience members will move freely between rooms as if attending a house party, watching movement while sampling food and drink prepared specifically for each part of the performance. The entire evening of dance, sound, words and food is inspired by a work of flash fiction by Britta Austin, and is the culminating installment in a suite of works by Nina Haft & Company inspired by Ms. Austin's writing.
