SF Gate
Feb. 2, 2000
Like the remarkable Bay Area troupe AWD, which mixes found music with a highly
kinetic style of modern dance, SF's Capacitor is a post-Burning Man performance
collective dedicated to multimedia spectacle and the intersection of diverse
stage-styles with introspective athletics. A nonprofit group -- and admirable
for choosing so, in our IPO-crazed economy -- Capacitor combines modern dance
and ballet with extravagant art, climbing, kung-fu, capoeria, circus arts
(juggling, stiltwalking, acrobatics), heavy-duty fireplay and live, original
cross-genre soundtracks. Recently capturing newspaper attention with its antics
at a benefit party for the East Bay nonprofit metalshop/art gallery The Crucible,
Capacitor returns to San Francisco for a six-day run at SomArts Gallery. The
performance, "Future Species 2," promises to be a real extravaganza with aerialists,
jugglers, live contempo music and, of course, startling choreography and dancers.
