visit: http://www.lakshmihairstudio.com/
who: alyssa lee in collaboration with weasel walter
what: group A premiere of a new site specific performance installation, HAIR MAZE: Hair is a paradox – it is dead, yet its constant growth is a reminder of life. Roman floors had inscriptions reading, “ICINCLUSUS.VITAMPERDIT,” which translates to, "Enclosed here, he loses life." Similarly, on the floors of beauty salons are inscriptions of unwanted, lost, and fallen pieces of hair. However, there is a universal ritual within the never-ending life of growth of hair and the necessary act of cutting and maintaining hair - a maze in contemporary society that we repeatedly find ourselves within. In HAIR MAZE, a performance installation, action artist and choreographer Alyssa Lee creates a salon-sized labyrinth of hair for the audience to snip and clip their way through, accompanied by a maze-like musical piece by NYC based multi-instrumentalist/composer/improviser Weasel Walter.

what: group A debuts HERE WAIT, performed by alyssa lee + alexis mian, is a dance, music, and video collaboration between alyssa lee (choreographer), nora raggio (video artist), and maggi payne (electroacoustic composer). taking its inspiration from a traffic sign stenciled on the pavement of a busy intersection, HERE WAIT presents the implications of different states of waiting in space and time. HERE WAIT indicates waves of impulse and rest while moving through intersections with ourselves and others, discovers existing conditions and the projection of indefinite potential conditions, and references a specific place in time while indicating a timeless place. the dilemma of "waiting here" is investigated through answering such questions as: where does one find stillness in the decay of movement? how do we reconcile the dichotomy of pausing in time? how does one wait while remaining grounded in the present?

why:Presented by samo-wilmo-tek + gal*in_dog, POW! displays "cutting-edgy" work of performers + artists from the Bay Area, New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, + Mexico City. After producing significant shows throughout the Bay Area, samo-wilmo-tek joined forces with gal*in_dog to create POW!, a grassroots production. POW! is a festival full of surprises + uncensored performance pieces. samo-wilmo-tek + gal*in_dog present POW! as a response to the ways in which the art scene is managed in the Bay Area + United States. Artists have been forced to follow certain aesthetics in order to have their work presented in a gallery or a festival + obligated to create a specific type of work that follows the fiscal sponsor's agenda. Thus, the sponsor gets to censor the artist. The curators of POW! devised a festival where the artist is encouraged to present work without restrictions.
