Disco Riot: 'Ex Nihilo'

City Heights/Weingart Library And Performance Annex
Free
Donations accepted

From the organizers:
We are bringing back our first-ever DISCO RIOT work and revamping it for a performance at ODC Theater! Before we head north, we will share the work for one show only on July 30th at the City Heights Performance Annex. DISCO RIOT’s Ex Nihilo, choreographed by Zaquia Mahler Salinas, features an original sound score by Jonny Tarr, is informed by excerpts of lectures from Alan Watts, and draws from channeling creative source. Latin for “out of nothing,” Ex Nihilo is a meditative quintet about what it takes to make something-from-nothing-ness.

PORT: SF/SD is a shared evening of premieres by contemporary dance companies FACT/SF (San Francisco) and DISCO RIOT (San Diego). These performances mark DISCO RIOT’s San Francisco debut and will be followed by another shared evening of both groups in San Diego in early 2023. DISCO RIOT and FACT/SF are working together as part of PORT, a reciprocal touring model that supports artistic exchange and creates opportunities to present visiting artists to local audiences.

As part of the City Heights Initiative, a public/private partnership between the city and Price Charities, the two-story library building and neighboring park opened in November 1998. The City Heights/Weingart Branch Library serves one of the most culturally diverse neighborhoods in San Diego and is the busiest city library for public computer usage. Connected to the library is the Performance Annex, a black box theatre that offers a variety of dance and music performances, along with lessons for adults and children. The Performance Annex is the only theatre that the city owns and operates.
