Featured will be music by Timo Andres, Christopher Cerrone, Jacob Cooper, Ted Hearne, Robert Honstein, and Andrew Norman.

  • In the second night of PIVOT, diverse and compelling “bands” of Bay Area composer/performers share the stage for a thrilling evening of music and movement, including Bucket List (Mark Applebaum, Travis Andrews, Andy Meyerson) and KoollooK (Dennis Aman, Babatunji, Travis Andrews, Andy Meyerson) and Trust Me (Lynnee Breedlove, Travis Andrews, Andy Meyerson).

  • For the final night of PIVOT, San Francisco Ballet choreographer/dancer Myles Thatcher and percussionist Andy Meyerson offer a contemporary take on the classical ballet pas de deux. Their program will include John Cage’s Child of Tree, with choreography by Merce Cunningham, a work that hasn’t been performed publicly since Cage’s death; Nicole Lizée’s The Filthy 15, with choreography by Rex Wheeler (aka Lady Camden), inspired by songs were at the center of a censorship battle in the 1980s; and a world premiere by Myles Thatcher, with music by Bach.
