CounterPULSE FistPretonically Oriented v.3 & Reflections CounterPULSE Artists in Residence FACT/SF & Lenora Lee Dance SEP 8-11, THU-SUN at 8PM ImageFACT/SF's Pretonically Oriented v.3 looks deeply at creative processes and products, proposing the creation of a dance work as a metaphor for the creation of identity. Formative experiences, statements of self, the rehearsal process, and performances are all juxtaposed to have a deeper look at what things are and how they came to be that way. Lenora Lee Dance's Reflections explores the unraveling stories of three succeeding generations of Chinese men as they redefine themselves in the American context. Storytelling through movement, video projection, Chinese lion dance, and martial arts traces their experience after immigrating through Angel Island — creating community and sense of place as contemporary Chinese Americans.
