"arubina" at CODAME Art+Tech Festival
arubina by Catie Cuan, Amy LaViers, and Catherine Maguire
Body-based metaphors inhabit our everyday language; for example, “watch your back”, has an idiomatic meaning that is rooted in the spatial design of our bodily form. Mechanical systems share this embodiment; for example, phrases like “wedge yourself between two entities”, shares intuition with the functioning of a simple machine, like a wedge. By leveraging algorithms to generate our soundscape and incorporating both visible and invisible connections, arubina, allows audience members to experience this invisible world as it intersects our bodies. A soundscape of body-based phrases generated live by a computer, with projected code, that alternate between familiar and unfamiliar drives a library of actions enacted by the performers while probing our embodied ways of understanding. I'm excited to be performing in this work for CODAME's Art+Tech Festival!

Asylum Arts Bay Area Jewish Artist Retreat
Asylum Arts presents the first Bay Area Jewish Artist Retreat, which will take place from November 11 – 14, 2019. During this intensive four-day program, 30 multidisciplinary emerging Jewish artists from the Bay Area will learn from local and international arts professionals, community leaders, Jewish educators, and from one another.
The Bay Area Jewish Artist Retreat aims to empower artists to explore collaboration and innovative ways to build an integrated local artist community and we will facilitate a nuanced conversation about local Jewish culture and identity, appreciating the importance of the complex multiple identities and groups that co-exist. We hope to foster an artist community founded on reciprocity, collaboration and inclusivity to build the Jewish cultural landscape in the Bay Area. I'm thrilled to participate in this inaugural Bay Area gathering! More info

RAWdance and ODC Theater presents Triple Take
For RAWdance’s first season after expanding to two coasts, the company’s three Artistic Directors, Wendy Rein, Ryan T. Smith, and Katerina Wong, reunite for an eclectic trio of new works. Rein and Smith premiere the first phase of Shadow, a deep dive into our murky, expanding digital footprints, and what it might mean for the future as each click, search, and download creates an alternate identity that is bought and sold. The Healer, a premiere by Wong, mines the ancient history, systems, and beliefs of Traditional Chinese Medicine and holistic practices, to shed light on a human’s innate ability to overcome physical and emotional suffering. For the final piece in the program, all three Artistic Directors join forces on a collaborative work which navigates their evolving process and relationship as a result of the new physical distance between RAWdance’s two homes.
