Kearny Street Workshop and Kaya Press present a bus tour of some of San Francisco finest Thomassons, structures around the city that once served a specific purpose but have now become part of the architecture.

I am working with my friend Adderely Bigalow, and we are choreographing a piece that will be viewed on the tour.

January 23rd in the afternoon

I am performing on top of this beautiful Sound Cave. It is made of 11 pianos and can be played on the inside four walls, ceiling, floor, and the outside as well as the top.

Performance: Tyson Ayers (sound), Joel Stockdill (vocals), Christina Miglino (dance)

An Interactive Sound Sculpture by Tyson Ayers

Public Unveiling and Opening Reception:
Saturday, June 27th ~ 7-11 pm

Gallery Hours:
Saturdays 1-4 pm or by appointment

Location:
Million Fishes Gallery
2501 Bryant St @ 23rd St
San Francisco, CA 94110

Million Fishes resident artist Tyson Ayers received a grant this year from San Francisco Arts Commission to develop his Sound Cave project - a sculpture, musical instrument, and sound healing device that is amazingly fun to play with. This evening will be the first chance to experience all the recent developments including new tunings, performances, interactive elements, and more.

Please invite your friends and come experience the piece yourself at the new Sound Cave's debut show. For more info on the Sound Cave project visit: www.soundcave.org

The Sound Cave is a small room built out of piano parts. When someone crawls inside, the strings on the walls capture any sounds the person creates and echoes them back for long periods of time. This resonance creates a space that can evoke meditative reflection or childlike exuberance, and many points in between.

Additionally, each sound board is tuned according to various scientific and sound healing principles with the intention of positively affecting a participant's mind, body, and spirit. This will be the public debut of the fully developed Sound Cave with performances by participating artists.

Sea levels and hemlines rise to dangerous heights, defrosting a Neanderthal girl from her icy slumber in Jessica Fudim & The Dance Animals’ Cave In Cave Out. This dance-theater ensemble collides the razzle-dazzle of musical theater with primitive bipedal antics, “it’s so hot...” jokes, and original music, such as "I Survived the Ice Age (and All I Got Was This Stupid T-Shirt)". Described as “a combination of Swiss Family Robinson and Gilligan’s Island mashed up with Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth,” Cave In Cave Out proves that global-warming allegories can be downright entertaining.

Please Feed My Animal, The Trilogy:

Cave In Cave Out
--Sea levels and hemlines rise to dangerous heights, defrosting a neanderthal girl from her icy slumber. This rock-theater octet collides contemporary dance with primitive bipedal antics and features original Dance Animals' songs including, "I Survived the Ice Age (and All I Got Was This Stupid T-Shirt)." Natural selection goes on a tangent as the cool neanderthal princess begins to outlive the too-hot humans.

Heart String 2x4
--Pirate and Sailor fall in love on the high seas. Described by audiences as "shamelessly playful," this duet borrows physical language from vaudeville, cartoons and silent films and bounds along to The Pointer Sisters' "Jump". Amidst their slow-motion dog paddling and salty glances, these unlikely bedfellows prove that love doesn't need to abide by rules of gender or sea-faring laws.

Sheepish
--Little Bo Peep tries to recover her lambs on the lam in the solo Sheepish, winner of the 2006 Best of SF Fringe. She bounds through video landscapes of green grass, makes crank phone calls and obediently follows the audiences instructions, all the while wrestling with the question, "who are we without the ones we love, and how can they be gone when we think we see them everywhere?"

The Dance Animals are:
Dwayne Calizo, Martin A. David, Jessica Fudim, Peter Griggs, David Mairs, Christina Miglino, Deborah Pardes, Veleda Roehl

Traveling Jewish Theatre (470 Florida Street, San Francisco)

PumpDance Theater presents “Remoter Control” directed by Pearl Marill
Diapers fall from the sky and crabs scuttle across the floor in corporate attire. The ensemble of Pumpdance theater stumbles and dances through birth to death in a day, repeatedly discovering the relentless pace of life that will control them if they don't find balance.

Brian Rosen presents “Failing That”
Failing That: A Minor Tragedy is a solo opera, featuring a completely original score, that follows three characters in different stages of their lives as they each fail catastrophically.

Jade Raybin presents “Thought Pocket”
The siren of the shadows lurks close but unseen, frogs ribbit in the foreground, and the news just keeps on coming. A tale of magical ignorance, Thought Pocket explores the need to know through dance, sketch comedy, live music, and contortion.
