Cross-Pollination: A Live Performance Series by Capacitor
Resonance, movement, survival. Connect with nature through a whole new experience.
Cross-Pollination is a live performance by Capacitor (Instagram: @capacitorsf) that explores nature's dramatic story of bees seeking nectar and communicating location through gestures to draw attention to the crucial yet sensitive interaction on which all of our survival depends.
As bees communicate through dance but also vibration, Cross-Pollination is performed on a new interactive dance-motion sculpture designed by 2023 Osher Foundation Fellow Jodi Lomask which contains an interior subwoofer that vibrates with the sound score, offering an obvious experience of resonance.
Performances both by Capacitor and with special guests will be held in the Academy’s West Garden during the mornings and afternoons of October 6-9 and 14-15.
The presentation of Cross-Pollination was made possible by the New England Foundation for the Arts' National Dance Project, with lead funding from the Doris Duke Foundation and the Mellon Foundation.
