San Francisco dance troupe’s new work debuts May 12 at Z Space in San Francisco.
When contemporary dance company Sharp & Fine premieres its latest creation, “Imaginary Country,” on Friday, May 12, at San Francisco’s Z Space, come prepared to witness how global concerns like climate change and political polarization influence the intricacies of personal relationships.Troupe co-founders and choreographers Megan and Shannon Kurashige have been creating dance works together since 2011.
Megan wanted to hear from nondancers and decided to have a workshop with neighbors in the apartment building where she lives and at the Kimochi Senior Center in Japantown. She asked, “What are you afraid of in the future? What do you wish for your grandchildren?” The Kurashige sisters work in an organic way. The music is a case in point. Composer and percussionist Jordan Glenn and bassist/cellist Max Judelson, who had both worked with the choreographers before, were commissioned to write the score. They are also playing live during the performance with reeds player Cory Wright and pianist/flutist Erika Oba, who in turn, are also part of the creative process.
