CounterPULSE Presents:
Crying in Public and Sally:MIA
Two World Premiers by Winter Artists in Residence
Monique Jenkinson, Krista DeNio & Ryan Eggensperger
February 8-11, 2007

The CounterPULSE Artist in Residence Program presents two world premiers by artists who use movement theater to push the boundaries of publicly-acceptable behavior, and to examine the possibilities of post-human consciousness. Monique Jenkinson, whose alter-ego Fauxnique has performed on stages from Trannyshack to Yerba Buena, joins recently-returned Bay Area dance favorite Krista DeNio in an evening of sharp, satirical and surreal social critique.
