Hence, aerial art.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a new kind of clay for me … you’re unhinged from the things you have known,” Moses says of working in aerial choreography for the first time, describing the experience as disorienting. “The use of weights, how you manage rhythm and quality … the poetry and aesthetic is reconfigured.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moses references Afrofuturism when describing his work, a paradigm where the African American experience and ancestry is carried into limitless visions of an alternative or future universe—yes, beyond arts diversity and inclusion. “There’s a whole intergalactic empire,” he says. “That stretch of the imagination is what this [work] is, in a way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The festival can be seen as part of an encouraging recent trend in fiscal support in the Bay Area contemporary arts world for work that supports Black artists in visionary ways, such as SOMArts’ 2019 exhibition \u003ca href=\"https://somarts.org/event/foreveramoment/\">\u003ci>Forever, A Moment: Black Meditations on Time and Space\u003c/i>\u003c/a>. Haigood feels “blessed” SFAAF artists are receiving recent grant support to “really let their imaginations stretch.” Blair, too, describes such recent fiscal support as a “dramatic turn” in the kinds of aerial projects supported by the industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indeed, if the arts ecology is making strides to expand its lens beyond identity politics into more imaginative territory, so should arts coverage.

The only survivor from the Galatea, a long-destroyed space shuttle, Seventy-One is encouraged by a pair of amiable doctors to remember the events that led them to escaping the fate that befell the rest of their crewmates.

A hub for body-based art and activism, including dance, pagan sex rituals, and performance art, 848 was a place where queer and sex-positive San Francisco could gather, perform, and create among allies. Born during a time when AIDS was still a full-blown public health crisis—a portent of pandemics to come—848 provided a safe haven of radical access and acceptance to its artists and audiences alike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the powerful aspects of 848 was that people lived there,” recalls Rick Darnell, CounterPulse’s current Associate Director of Neighborhood Arts, who performed at 848 in the early years with his own dance company—the High Risk Group. “People waking, making art, sleeping, and loving there really blessed the space…truly epic, authentic, vision-grade stuff.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, 30 years, three spaces, and a name change later, CounterPulse may have lost some of its original outsider shine, but it’s gained an expansive constellation of resident artists, fiscal sponsees and co-presenters whose points of inquiry remain both the body and transformative experiences.

Designed to engage directly with the Tenderloin neighborhood—of which Darnell is a resident—TenderArts has included block parties, mural painting, workshops, skill-shares, open mics and other in-person performance opportunities. By partnering with community-based service organizations and inviting SRO residents and other Tenderloin-dwellers to participate in creative work, TenderArts had grown into a highly visible component of the CounterPulse calendar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Tenderloin has really allowed CounterPulse to stretch our social justice muscle in ways that are authentic, loving, and community-centered,” Darnell asserts. Some of that has been through computer donations to low-income SRO residents in the neighborhood, and offering stipends to participants for upcoming workshops. But, Darnell readily admits, it’s impossible to keep the engagement with his neighborhood with the same frequency virtually as in-person.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s actually painful to not be engaged in activities at the level of we were at…We’ll get back to the level of engagement we once enjoyed in about another year, I think.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13893065\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13893065\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2021/02/TenderArts_Plants_credit_CounterPulse-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/02/TenderArts_Plants_credit_CounterPulse-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/02/TenderArts_Plants_credit_CounterPulse-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/02/TenderArts_Plants_credit_CounterPulse-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/02/TenderArts_Plants_credit_CounterPulse-768x576.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/02/TenderArts_Plants_credit_CounterPulse-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/02/TenderArts_Plants_credit_CounterPulse-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/02/TenderArts_Plants_credit_CounterPulse.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">TenderArts workshop at CounterPulse on planting seedlings hosted by Associate Director of Neighborhood Arts, Rick Darnell. \u003ccite>(courtesy of CounterPulse)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Despite the challenges, an event currently in the works is TenderFest (scheduled for March 11), a large-scale collaboration with Larkin Street Youth Services, the Tenderloin Museum and Skywatchers, a Tenderloin-based performance company.

A hub for body-based art and activism, including dance, pagan sex rituals, and performance art, 848 was a place where queer and sex-positive San Francisco could gather, perform, and create among allies. Born during a time when AIDS was still a full-blown public health crisis—a portent of pandemics to come—848 provided a safe haven of radical access and acceptance to its artists and audiences alike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the powerful aspects of 848 was that people lived there,” recalls Rick Darnell, CounterPulse’s current Associate Director of Neighborhood Arts, who performed at 848 in the early years with his own dance company—the High Risk Group. “People waking, making art, sleeping, and loving there really blessed the space…truly epic, authentic, vision-grade stuff.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, 30 years, three spaces, and a name change later, CounterPulse may have lost some of its original outsider shine, but it’s gained an expansive constellation of resident artists, fiscal sponsees and co-presenters whose points of inquiry remain both the body and transformative experiences.

Hedging their bets, CounterPulse—like many other performing arts companies around the Bay—released their Spring season schedule just weeks ago, mostly without set dates. This precaution, Artistic and Executive Director Julie Phelps points out, was prescient, as several announced presentations, including their Spring Festival, have already been quietly withdrawn and pushed to the fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Postponement has become a whole new feature of programming, and it feels less like ‘postponed’ and more like we’re ‘ongoing trying to find a place to situate this thing that we’re going to do,’” Phelps says. “When they made the announcement about the potential that the entire Bay Area would be vaccinated potentially as soon as August… I don’t know if we can have hope in that…or how we can expect that to change audience behavior, or what staff will feel comfortable with.” (Indeed, just days after we spoke, CounterPulse announced that this month’s Gravity Dance performance, scheduled as a virtual presentation, had also been postponed.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13893068\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13893068\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2021/02/BeyondGravity_IndiaSkyDavis_credit_KaliMaJulien-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/02/BeyondGravity_IndiaSkyDavis_credit_KaliMaJulien-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/02/BeyondGravity_IndiaSkyDavis_credit_KaliMaJulien-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/02/BeyondGravity_IndiaSkyDavis_credit_KaliMaJulien-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/02/BeyondGravity_IndiaSkyDavis_credit_KaliMaJulien-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/02/BeyondGravity_IndiaSkyDavis_credit_KaliMaJulien-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/02/BeyondGravity_IndiaSkyDavis_credit_KaliMaJulien.jpg 1890w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Beyond Gravity performer and founder of Topsy-Turvy Queer Circus India Sky Davis in ‘Wavelength.’ \u003ccite>(Kali Ma Julien)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>One performance that’s still scheduled to go on as planned—though the granular details of the presentation format are in ongoing conversation—is April’s Combustible residency, with StratoFyzika and Pseuda.

For their piece \u003cem>Human/ID,\u003c/em> Europe’s StratoFyzika draws inspiration from the laws of physics and the inner workings of the human mind, and the Bay Area’s Pseuda presents work combining the immersive qualities of an installation piece with the isolating effects of screens and “rapidly evolving” technologies. The aspect of isolation is leavened somewhat, creator Nicholas Navarro adds, by the evolving realization that in the pandemic, virtual connection also provides “beauty and importance and power…in terms of visibility, representation, community and mobilizing people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13893063\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13893063 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2021/02/Pseuda_rehearsal_KimIp_TaurinBarerra_credit_NicholasNavarro-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/02/Pseuda_rehearsal_KimIp_TaurinBarerra_credit_NicholasNavarro-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/02/Pseuda_rehearsal_KimIp_TaurinBarerra_credit_NicholasNavarro-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/02/Pseuda_rehearsal_KimIp_TaurinBarerra_credit_NicholasNavarro-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/02/Pseuda_rehearsal_KimIp_TaurinBarerra_credit_NicholasNavarro-768x576.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/02/Pseuda_rehearsal_KimIp_TaurinBarerra_credit_NicholasNavarro-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/02/Pseuda_rehearsal_KimIp_TaurinBarerra_credit_NicholasNavarro.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pseuda rehearsal on CounterPulse mainstage with Kim Ip and Taurin Barrera. \u003ccite>(Nicholas Navarro)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“The pandemic started out as a speed bump in our path to enjoying in-person dance rehearsals and viewing our process through the lens of IRL rehearsal,” Navarro’s collaborator and choreographer Kim Ip reflects. “(But) once Nick and I realized our piece pertains to the social dilemma of socializing on screens, we understood that rehearsing online was the safest and most apropos—to the concept—option.” Now meeting and filming in small groups at CounterPulse in anticipation of their presentation, they look forward to sharing the results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The evolving role of technology has also manifested in CounterPulse’s neighborhood arts programming facilitated by Darnell, though with its own unique set of challenges. Designed to engage directly with the Tenderloin neighborhood—of which Darnell is a resident—TenderArts has included block parties, mural painting, workshops, skill-shares, open mics and other in-person performance opportunities. By partnering with community-based service organizations and inviting SRO residents and other Tenderloin-dwellers to participate in creative work, TenderArts had grown into a highly visible component of the CounterPulse calendar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Tenderloin has really allowed CounterPulse to stretch our social justice muscle in ways that are authentic, loving, and community-centered,” Darnell asserts. Some of that has been through computer donations to low-income SRO residents in the neighborhood, and offering stipends to participants for upcoming workshops. But, Darnell readily admits, it’s impossible to keep the engagement with his neighborhood with the same frequency virtually as in-person.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s actually painful to not be engaged in activities at the level of we were at…We’ll get back to the level of engagement we once enjoyed in about another year, I think.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13893065\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13893065\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2021/02/TenderArts_Plants_credit_CounterPulse-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/02/TenderArts_Plants_credit_CounterPulse-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/02/TenderArts_Plants_credit_CounterPulse-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/02/TenderArts_Plants_credit_CounterPulse-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/02/TenderArts_Plants_credit_CounterPulse-768x576.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/02/TenderArts_Plants_credit_CounterPulse-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/02/TenderArts_Plants_credit_CounterPulse-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/02/TenderArts_Plants_credit_CounterPulse.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">TenderArts workshop at CounterPulse on planting seedlings hosted by Associate Director of Neighborhood Arts, Rick Darnell. \u003ccite>(courtesy of CounterPulse)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Despite the challenges, an event currently in the works is TenderFest (scheduled for March 11), a large-scale collaboration with Larkin Street Youth Services, the Tenderloin Museum and Skywatchers, a Tenderloin-based performance company.
