Impact (2019)
Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco
Inspired by the Brutalist movement in architecture, with its emphasis on massive exposed concrete construction, and a wistfulness for the anti-bourgeois spirit of an earlier era, Impact features a cast of 16 performers inhabiting a dystopian world in the near future. With scenic design by Alice Malia and commissioned music by Aaron M Gold, this new contemporary dance will lead audiences through a mirror world eerily like our own.
Performers: Heather Arnett, Allegra Bautista, Shareen DeRyan Anna Greenberg, and Hien Huynh with Lydia Clinton, Marlene Garcia, Emily Hansel, Liselle Yap, Alexa Manalansan, Kyle Limin, Macio Payomo, Nell Suttles, Brianna Torres, Oona Wong-Danders
Composer: Aaron M Gold
Scenic Design: Alice Malia
Lighting Design: Allen Willner
Costume Design: Rita Parks
“Impact showcased a choreographer with a fine sense of spatial development”
- Dance View Times, Rita Felciano
“Impact was designed to leave many visual impressions in its wake, many of which are worth remembering…”
