Kevin Lo

Kevin Lo (he/any) is a composer, choreographer, writer, and artist living on Chochenyo Ohlone land, born in New Zealand, with some time after that in Melbourne, Australia. In his compositions and improvisations for live performance and installation, he utilizes instruments, digital sound processing and generative programming environments to examine spatial and auditory sensitivities, topological structure and audience kinesthetic response while seeking to corrupt conventional compositional/performative/installative rationale. He's one of eight co-curators for a weekly reading series in Oakland, freelances in the arts as dancer/composer/LD/technician/videographer, currently teaches at San Jose State University, performs nationally and abroad.

Rose + Zoe Huey

We grew up on unceded Lisjan Ohlone land aka Oakland, CA. Shaped by our mixed-race ancestry, queer identities and shared sisterhood, our artistic practice blends dance, visual art, and improvisation. Our earliest creative collaborations were living room dance performances for our stuffed animals. In collaboration with our childhood selves we experiment with play as creative process and creative process as play. Play is a portal through which we seek to make sense of the nonsensical, dystopian, and apocalyptic world we inhabit; in our sistership we find refuge.
