NicholsMichael Palmer and the company dancers have been deep at work incubating new ideas. Glimpse inside a creative process, see a variety of choreographic episodes that combines text, music, sound, narrative and choreography with an intimate and mobile showing that traverses our Dance Lab and other studio spaces at the SF Conservatory of Dance.

The evening will feature live music performed by Paul Dresher as well as Rinde Eckert and Margaret Jenkins in reprised excerpts of Shorebirds Atlantic from 1988.
