If we have critical mass of past performers coming to Contact Camp, I'ld be interested in doing Axolotl there one more time, or perhaps some variation that includes some ofthe work we have been doing inthe new show, Proximity.

Who all is going to be there at the BURN this year who has performed in it before or who would like to help out in other ways to make it happen?

regards
K

PS We are performing both AXOLOTL and the new work, PROXIMITY, in san francisco and santa cruz in the next weeks... i include an announce with this, as there are a bunch of Contact Camp folks involved...

----------------------------------------------------

BODY RESEARCH is performing two shows in San Francisco and Santa Cruz, July 26 - August 12

PROXIMITY and AXOLOTL

www.BODYRESEARCH.org/proxax

---------------------------------

AXOLOTL -- A participatory performance experience, psychological and kinesthetic: be blindfolded for 2 hours of exploration of self and other

July 26, August 9, 10 in San Francisco (8PM at Million Fishes, 23rd and Bryant)
July 28, August 2 in Santa Cruz (8PM at the Vet's Hall, 846 Front St)

"I left the theater shell-shocked.
It was easily the oddest, most surprising performance experience I've ever had. And, against all expectations, one of the most rewarding."
BRENDAN KILEY, The Stranger (Seattle 2005)

-----------------------------------------

PROXIMITY (premier) -- an exploration of social distance, connection, and disconnection. The audience wanders a convoluted space witnessing shifting relationships amongst an ensemble of performers. Watch safely from a distance or get a better look up close and risk getting involved.

July 27, August 5, 11, 12 -- San Francisco (8pm at 1800 Illinois St)
July 29, Aug 4 -- Santa Cruz (8pm at 418 Project, 418 Front St)

"... fascinating; awkward, tender, and violent movement combined with snippets of dialog and swiftly built-up characters and
relationships, creating social and sexual conflicts with an almost unnerving intimacy... utterly compelling. "
BRETT FETZER, The Stranger (Seattle April 2004){about research work for Proximity}

---------------------------------

Performers: Isabelle Fortier, Isabella Kirouac, Sasha Klapkin (Canada), Elska Zeidle (Germany), Natalie Heller (Cyprus), Maja Paalsson (Denmark), Munir Rashid, Cammie Kelly, Kevin Dockerty, Karl Frost, Collin Leach (US), and guests

    I would love to see Axolotl back, and evolution of it would make it even more tantilising? I mean, how far can it go eventually? In what direction? Where What How When Who...

      the shows have been going well in San Francisco. Part of me feels like facilitating a new event there on the playa, something that is working with the material coming out of the new show, Proximity. It's starting to get very intriguing, oddly provacative. 'thinking of a framework in which it could be shared, either as a performance organized on the fly or as a workshop/happening/event.

      Proximity is feeling in some ways like an attempt to answer the question "If Axolotl is the crawling into the crysallis, What does it look like to start to hatch?"

        thinking perhaps of doing something spinning off from our new show, Proximity. It's been very fascinating, and i think it would be an interesting provocation towards participation in experience...

        I feel pretty open, though to feeling what is needed. I think we can suss it out on Monday
