Programmed by Brontez Purnell Doors 5:00 / DJ 6:30
Part dance party, part performance, and part family reunion, Other Dancers brings together cutting-edge experimental dancers and performers from the Yay Area and beyond. The line between artist and audience blurs, and the intrinsic value of movement is explored. Performances by Jennifer Marie Hoff, LoveWarz, Kelly Rafferty, Mica Sigourney, Sophia Wang, and Hentyle Yapp. Also expect a film by Nina Haft and a participatory dance class led by Jesse Hewit. DJ Sets by Josh Cheon (Dark Entries Records) and Robert Yang (a.k.a. Robot Hustle).

What Is It?
Jen, a dance teacher at the Public School, is having a rehearsal, researching the theme of circles & resonance, and experimenting with lighting.
- Dancers will be dressed entirely in white
We are still free to give her our input!
Who Can Dance
- Anyone at SudoRoom can participate. You have to wear white.
- You will be possibly wearing a costume with LED lights.
- You do not have to go to the rehearsals, but it would be a good idea to do that
Hackers
How would you like to add to the performance?
- Wearable electronics (white?) on white-outfitted dancers
- Video - would you like to film the dancers using drones, filmed from strange angles?
- Print or drawing - would you like to make wood sculptures of the performance/ make a letterpress zine?
Please throw some ideas to the list, let's talk!
Wait! don't we have hack the gallery too? Let's talk to patrick!
Brainstorming
- Compass-spaced - lights change depending on which direction the dancers are moving in (Hol)
Inspiration
- SFSU Conceptual/Information Arts - they are so smart!

Patterns
Happy Patterns
People hacking things
Dancers speaking one on one with the LED people on interesting things they'd like to do
Anti-Patterns
Pulling in too many readymade projects with readymade ideas made by other people not part of sudo room in a way that inhibits the creativity of the group.
It's probably not a good idea to involve Zumba, etc. or any franchise corporate fitness movement. They are heavily copyrighted and do not allow hacking / creative extensions.
