Kathleen Hermesdorf | la ALTERNATIVA
About:
ALTERNATIVA | Directed by Kathleen Hermesdorf with Albert Mathias in San Francisco, ALTERNATIVA is an apparatus for deeply integrated contemporary dance and music via creation, improvisation, performance, education and curation. Hermesdorf and Mathias collaborate on visceral, dynamic and experimental investigations into ineffable aspects of the human condition, with a focus on inter-disciplinarity with exceptional artists. The organization supports the project-to-project creative work and acts as an umbrella for Alternative Conservatory, facilitated by Hermesdorf and AM Audio/Media, established by Mathias. ALTERNATIVA is in residence at KUNST-STOFF arts, and a founding member of [ABC] Arts Building Consortium with THEOFFCENTER and KUNST-STOFF, dedicated to shared resources, intentional curation and creative connectivity.
