DESCRIPTION:Fri Nov 1st @ 8pm and Sat Nov 2nd @ 7pm\n\nSink\nRants, dance, and chants 
 by Keith Hennessy\n\nSink's approach to current politics waivers between 
 punk and contemplative, transformative and f*cked. Loneliness, a 
 lifejacket, a white man, a shadow dance, a sad angry song, and love, 
 suspended.\n\n"Sink is a clarion call for justice, the miracle of 
 surviving, and an amazing journey that embraces a volcano of everyday 
 emotions... with wild bursts of sentimentality and moments of savage beauty 
 and grace." John Wilkens, KQED\n\nThe performance is an embodied response 
 to the current political, economic, and social shifts that have produced 
 not only Trump and Brexit, Erdogan and Duterte, but also the massive 
 refugee crises all over the world, the mass shootings in Christchurch, 
 Charleston, and Gilroy, and normalization of precarity in all sectors 
 (financial instability, impossible debt, depression, anxiety, poverty, 
 incarceration, species extinction, climate chaos and existential 
 fears...).\n\nAn intimate and confrontational portrait of the current era, 
 Sink features poetic texts, contemplative dances, dark satire, plaintive 
 chanting, re-processed nazi music, and an aerial dance. \n\nHennessy says, 
 "Sink is a personal experiment... I'm feeling fragile and distracted and 
 that's partly structural. I'm responding to hate and terror, shame and 
 paralysis, the will to survive competing against the urge to 
 implode/explode. I'm reaching in new and old directions, dancing 
 contemplatively, climbing dangerously, singing my guts out, asking too many 
 questions at once: Is freedom a useful concept to motivate dancing? Can a 
 performance be a spell of support for Syrian and Sudanese refugees or 
 victims of fire, hurricane and government betrayal? Is there a non harmful 
 role for the white and male artist? In our need to create contexts for 
 healing, care, and trauma relief, how can I defend artistic provocation or 
 abstract formalism?"\n\nFri Nov 1st @ 8pm\nSat Nov 2nd @ 7pm\nThe Joe Goode 
 Annex (401 Alabama Street, San Francisco)\n\n$0 - $30.\n
