"The Garage is the kind of tiny, funky, out-of-the-way theater we all thought wouldn't be able to survive the dealings of cutthroat real estate moguls...fortunately SAFEhouse, failed to buy into the pessimism...The Garage presents edgy new work that should satisfy any aficionado wanting to take the pulse of the city."

| March 3-4 @ 8pm. $10-$20 AIRspace Queer Performance series presents choreographers Awilda Rodriguez-Lora, Dominika Bedarska and Jorge De Hoyos. Rodiguez-Lora presents Mamá Awilda: El Duet which takes innovative and creative risks by incorporating themes of aging, abuse, and disease into dance movement. Challenging traditional notions of dance that support technique and hyper-athletic bodies over “normal” or aged bodies, by developing choreography based on the movements and gestures of Rodriguez-Lora’s mother. |
| March 5-6 @ 8pm and March 7 @ 4pm. $10-$20 RAW (resident artist workshop) presents “Reply / catalog for circles and unfinished cities” by Tableau Stations | Floor of Sky. From falling, floating, disappearing, and appearing... the performance work constructs a series of tableaux negotiating the edge space of landscape and circularity in the shared quotidian spaces of a city. Extracting for movement and image from Milan Kundera’s literary work “The Book of Laughter and Forgetting”, with a shifting lens to what he terms “the magic of the circle dance”, the mixed ensemble cast and a roaming camera move in and out of architectural patterns, place, and placelessness, exploring the nuances between memory, response, replication and transformation. Video work was done amidst the mixed topographies of Los Angeles, San Francisco, Florence, Genoa, and Berlin. |

TWENTY FIVE YEARS LATER: A DEATH IN THE ARTWORLD COMES TO LIFE. ARTIST COUPLE REVIVE FOR THE STAGE THE SHOCKING CONTROVERSY OVER THE UNTIMELY DEMISE OF ANA MENDIETA |
March 12-13 @ 8pm. $10-$20 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 Jay Krohnengold. |
