Forum Lounge: Kat Galasso, An evening with Kat Galasso

5 pm Happy Hour

7 pm Performance

Choreographer and media artist Catherine Galasso presents a series of live two-person dance tableaux throughout the gallery, created in response to the current exhibitions, A Handful of Dust and Bloom Projects: Molly Smith, Root. Using the raw material of human gesture, the tableaux will explore both primitive physicality, as well as the body as a sculptural object. Catherine will draw from her existing “repertoire,” as well as create new material on site.

ADMISSION IS FREE

Forum Lounge is a series of free, performance-based events that reflect CAF’s mission to sustain and encourage the artistic process by presenting art in the form of exceptional music, dance, video, and other multi-media to our community. The series encourages experiences with unique performance pieces ranging from the theatrical to the avant-garde that are normally found only in large metropolitan venues.

About

CAF is a non-profit, non-collecting institution dedicated to exhibiting the highest quality of contemporary art while recognizing "the artists of tomorrow," and was founded in 1976 by artists and art supporters seeking a venue dedicated solely to contemporary art. What once began as a grassroots, artist-run organization with nominal funding now serves as the leading contemporary arts presenter in Central California. CAF offers its innovative education and exhibition programming to the region primarily free of charge. There is no admission fee because CAF believes that the arts should be accessible to all audiences of all persuasions. It truly is foundations and individuals from the community that keep CAF active, inspired and alive with opportunities for artists, children, and adults to experience all the visual and performing arts have to offer.
