Map address
Join us for a special night of Stanford arts immersion! Learn more about the Arts Initiative at Stanford from Matthiew Tiews, MA ’99, PhD ’04, Associate Dean for the Advancement of the Arts, during an alumni-only reception preceding the performance of "Mainframe" by alumna Katharine Hawthorne.
"Mainframe" asks how computers have changed the way we see our bodies. Six dancers meet six old Macintosh monitors for a literal translation of human computer interaction. Hawthorne’s “powerful and sinuous movement” (Dance Magazine) positions dancers in a changing world, in which computers increasingly shape how we see ourselves and connect with each other.
Katharine Hawthorne, Stanford '10, is a San Francisco based choreographer who likes to watch thinking bodies in motion. She creates “fiercely intelligent, fearlessly athletic” (SF Bay Guardian) choreography at the intersection of art and science, combining her background in physics with her embodied experience as a dancer.
Reception with wine and hor d'oeurves opens at 6:30. Remarks by Matthiew Tiews at 7, and Mainframe begins at 8:00.
RSVP early -- SPACE IS LIMITED
