Crying in Public & Sally: MIA

The CounterPULSE Artist in Residence Program presents two world premiers by artists who use movement theater to push the boundaries of publicly-acceptable behavior, and to examine the possibilities of post-human consciousness. Monique Jenkinson, whose alter-ego Fauxnique has performed on stages from Trannyshack to Yerba Buena, joins recently-returned Bay Area dance favorite Krista DeNio in an evening of sharp, satirical and surreal social critique.

Crying in Public

Directed by Chris Black
Inappropriate displays of feminine emotion in a besotted blend of witty theater, gutsy dancing and ruined makeup.

— Bay Area Reporter

“It was enough to make a girl want to revisit her Susan Sontag.”
— SF Chronicle

Sally: MIA
Co-created by Krista DeNio & Ryan Eggensperger
Directed by Susannah Martin; Choreography by Krista DeNio
A movement theater odyssey, through the cyber-scape of the world’s first automated woman. Featuring Krista DeNio, Carolyn Doyle, Ryan Eggensperger, Helen Sage Howard, Cammie Kelly, Amy “Ray” Kingwill, and Mica Miro.
