Movement With Meaning: Capacitor's techno tango
SFWeekly
August 6, 2002

The body articulates things that language cannot, and seeing a Capacitor show should convince even the fiercest linguaphiles of this. The relatively young dance company uses aerial movement, fire, video, martial arts, and scientific research to create complex conceptual pieces that convey the essence of ideas like life inside a video game, the interaction between atoms and the atmosphere, and the continuous evolution of Homo sapiens.

Capacitor's newest show, Digging in the Dark, explores the concept of invisibility, uniting the geophysical mapping of the hidden layers below the Earth's surface with the terrain of the human mind. (Karen Macklin)
