Pigeon
FJE Trio
Dove Yellow Swans
Two groups comprised of members of the unique and evolving collective of Portland improvisors and dancers varyingly know as Super Unity Group, Rasbullito, and the 411 Collective, will be making a rare appearance in the Bay Area. PIGEON features 6 dancers and 3 musicians performing in an unique egalitarian formation where movement and sound take equal prominence. Led by Super Unity's Kathleen Keogh, PIGEON's improvised dance and music creates an atmosphere of pigeon flocks, colonies, and aggregations. Featured dancers are Kathleen Keogh, Kestrel Gates, Stu Phillips, Nat D. Newburger, David Rafn, and Alison Gross. They are joined by musicians Bryan Eubanks, Leif Sundstrom, and Janice McKeachern. The FERRIT / JAVELINA / EWE TRIO is a rare reunion of Super Unity founding members Bryan Eubanks, Jean-Paul Jenkins, and Joe Foster who currently teaches music in South Korea. F/J/E Trio's sound is in the quiet minimalist tradition of Super Unity but with a bit more levity and lightness. Also playing is Oakland's maximalist free-noise duo Dove Yellow Swans, who will offer an interesting counterpoint to the quieter and more subtle nature of their visiting friends.
