DESCRIPTION:Okeanos is a multidisciplinary portrait of the ocean as body, environment, 
 resource, metaphor, and force. It is a performance to inspire and educate 
 audiences about the ocean and connect them directly to ocean 
 conservation.\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7hXD8_n3GM\n\nOkeanos 
 features the distinctive artistic and technical components that Capacitor 
 has become known for – inventive and articulated dance vocabulary, 
 contemporary circus acts, abstract structures that mirror nature, poetic 
 integration of audio/video/media forms, sculptural costumes, scientifically 
 supported content, and conservation partnerships.\n\nPRESHOW

 (greensteininstitute.com), Farhana Huq (browngirlsurf.com) & more. MC Sarah 
 Kornfeld (BLUEMiND)\n\nArtistic director Jodi Lomask went diving in a coral 
 restoration site in Bali and in Monterrey’s kelp forests to see two of 
 the most vital biomes in the sea. She spent six months meeting with marine 
 biologists and oceanographers at the California Academy of Sciences to 
 develop a full and current understanding of ocean biology. She surfed the 
 warm and the cold waters to feel the pulse and variation of the ocean’s 
 flow. \n\nThis effort to understand both the science and the spirit of the 
 ocean led her to two major conclusions. The ocean is an integral part of 
 our lives: we derive food from it, breathe the oxygen produced in it, drink 
 the water that cycles through it. Yet this essential resource is threatened 
 by growing human demands. What once felt vast, endless, and overwhelmingly 
 deep is now vulnerable to our increasingly destructive ways of 
 living.\n\nFort Mason Center is co-presenting the premiere of Okeanos on 
 April 12 – 15, 2012 in their 30,000 square ft Herbst Pavilion. The 
 60-minute performance will take place within a video environment 
 constructed of two 25’ wide scrims. Capacitors’ four dancers and four 
 circus artists perform within the projection space. Underwater footage of 
 dancers, sea life and constructed video effects will be projected over the 
 live performers and aerial apparatus. Vocal improvisations performed in 
 conjunction with recordings of whale songs and interviews with scientific 
 advisors Dr. Sylvia Earle and Dr. Tierney Thys punctuate the electronic 
 sound score.\n\nOcean Solutions Café\n\nTo harness the momentum Okeanos 
 creates, the show will be followed by an “Ocean Solutions Café.” The 
 Café is an interactive after show reception with booths sponsored by ocean 
 conservation groups. By partnering with ocean conservation groups, Okeanos 
 is an alternative vehicle for environmental communications – 
 reinvigorating conservationists and inspiring the general public to support 
 ocean vitality through performance. The café also presents an opportunity 
 for those on the front lines of ocean conservation to collaborate and 
 extend their networks. \n\ne-mail florence@capacitor.org for questions or
