THE THIRD SIDE of the tape occurs when the magnetic tape is twisted from exhaustion and outstrips its memory.

This program collects interpretations in dance, theater and sound -- each internalized and processed before reemerging and taking new form. Rebecca Davis, a choreographer and installation artist based in New York, will premier "I'll Crane for You," the result of her participation in Deborah Hay's 2008 Solo Commissioning Project. Interdisciplinary artist and independent researcher, Sreshta Rit Premnath (NYC) spearheads an assembly of local performers in dynamically rehashing a playlist of sappy 70's folk songs that once filled the halls of his now-demolished art school.

If you've ever wondered what to call the place between recalling and foretelling, imagined yourself and your cohorts starring in a "flashback" episode from the sitcom of your lives, or pressed "play" in order to reconceive an emotional terrain now in ruins, you've been dialing The Third Side. The phone is ringing again. It's for you.
