About:
Right Brain Performancelab is a company that explores the paradoxes of existence by way of metaphor. Their performances are darkly comic, edgy and vaudevillian. The Performancelab began in San Francisco in 1999 as a collaboration between John Baumann and Jennifer Gwirtz who intersected their work in theater, dance, music, puppetry, philosophy, performance art and videography to create a hybrid, minimal style of performance that is accessible, simple and rich. Over the years many wonderful performers have joined the Performancelab as collaborators, including Laura Marsh, Lisa Claybaugh, John Baumann, Bob Marsh, JoAnn Selisker, Natalie Marsh and others! This year's Dance Anywhere project will be a coordinated improvisational performance by Right Brain Performancelab collaborators and friends past and present from San Francisco, New York, Weimar and Hong Kong.

Four time zones, seven people (six dancing)...and a cockateal! Right Brain Performancelab and friends all got together to Dance Anywhere on March 28, 2014 at noon PDT, 3pm EDT, 8pm CEST, and 7pm BST, answering the question posed by Dance Anywhere: "What if there was a public celebration of dance everywhere, around the world, simultaneously? What if, in one moment, the whole world started dancing?" ...and so, we did! Featuring: John Baumann (San Francisco,) Claudia Dunse (Weimar,) Liz Filippone (Albany, NY,) Jennifer Gwirtz (Sausalito,) Jennifer A. Minore (Flint,) Apryl Renee Pipe (London,) David Samas and his talented cockatoo, Petal (San Francisco.)
