Fletcher and Reichert have collaborated for more than 12 years on edgy performances that blur the boundary between art and life. Other projects by Fletcher and Reichert include Paparazzi Photographs, in which the artists hired a paparazzo to follow them for a day; Proceedings, a short video work that tracks the artists' obsession with the murder trial of Scott Peterson; Selling Yourself and Not Your Art, which involved hiring a Dale Carnegie instructor to coach artists on the business etiquette of marketing their wares; and Death & Taxes, Inc., a corporation run by an independent board that assumed fiduciary responsibility over the artists' lives for an entire year.

RAW (resident artist workshop) presents

"Performance Art in Front

of an Audience Ought to be Entertaining"

by Fletcher & Reichert

Nearly 25 years after performance artist Ana Mendieta plunged to her death from her husband Carl Andre’s 34th floor New York City apartment, two Bay Area conceptual artists are breathing new life into the sordid art-world drama. 
 
Sean Fletcher and Isabel Reichert, known for their tabloid-style approach to making art, wrote and are now producing a theatrical portrait based on their interpretation of what the last argument between Andre and Mendieta might have been.  Performance Art in Front of an Audience Ought to be Entertaining (a title borrowed from a line in the script) stars veteran actors Carla Pauli and Phillipe Coquet.

RAW presents

Brianna Taylor presents “Nothing is Ever Lost…” is an interdisciplinary performance piece exploring decisions around child bearing and motherhood in contemporary American society.  Combining modern and West African dance as movement inspirations, along with spoken word and song, a ritual performance piece will take place to serve as a healing event for women grappling with the decision of whether or not to have children.  Questions are raised about abortion vs. the desire to have children, along with the desire to move forward with a career as an independent woman of our time.  What is lost along with the decision to have a child?  What is lost along with the decision to terminate a pregnancy?  And what of the fears of not being able to bear children at a later time, or of being a single mother trying to pursue her dreams?  Some of these questions are answered through movement, story and song.  Some are left unanswered, to be determined in the minds and hearts of the audience.

Nicole Phillips presents "Fatherload: Part I", a dance art premiere features Phillips singing to her estranged father, while pasting pictures of him and flower petals to her body. She builds a bridge between the visible and the invisible, the touched and untouched.
