Capacitor presents a new motion sculpture work, Cross-Pollination. Created in collaboration with Deaf choreographer Antoine Hunter, new-media artist Max Kazemzadeh, and Gallaudet University's TinkerLab, Cross-Pollination will feature a mixed cast of Deaf and hearing dancers and will be choreographed by Jodi Lomask and Antoine Hunter.

The work will explore nature's dramatic story of bees seeking nectar and communicating location through gestures to draw attention to the crucial yet sensitive interaction on which all of our survival depends. Cross-Pollination will be performed on a new interactive dance-motion sculpture designed by Lomask.

Caretakers of Land: Lisjan Ohlone
Estimated Artist Fee: $20,000/performance; $45,000/week; $10,000/virtual
