Read the KPBS Feature on this exhibition here: Dance and photography converge to 'Dis/Re-member war-torn Laos About the exhibition: Dis/Re-member is a dis-membering of Khamla Somphanh’s dance, Purposely Accidental.

Lost is the dimension and quality of movement. Instead, the fleeting gesture is suspended in time, allowing us the opportunity to contemplate the dancer’s fleeting gesture. A wide-angle lens was primarily used for these images, allowing the photographer to work in close proximity to the dancer and the viewer to become immersed in the experience of dance. About the artist: Douglas McMinimy is a San Diego-based photographer who works exclusively with dancers. He began to dance in his late teens and co-founded modern dance group 456 Speed-Up in 1980. By the 2000s, his connections with dance had waned. He began carrying a camera, photographing the New England flora on daily dog walks on Mount Desert Island, Maine. Photography facilitated his prodigal return to dance in 2017. Having relocated to San Diego with its thriving dance community, he became determined to focus his creative efforts on photographing dance, particularly in a studio setting, which enables a relationship of collaboration between McMinimy and the dancers he photographs.

Note: This production has been canceled. Feb. 17 through Mar. 20, 2022. Opening night: Feb. 26. By Miranda Rose Hall Directed by Kym Pappas From '5 plays to see in San Diego in February' (KPBS Feature) New York-based playwright Miranda Rose Hall's new work, "Best Lesbian Erotica 1995," was part of Diversionary's 2020 Spark New Play Festival, with a radio play-style virtual reading. This month's fully staged, world premiere production is directed by Kym Pappas, who also directed that virtual reading almost two years ago. The cast for this production is brilliant — including San Diego theater world titans like Laura Zee and Katie Haroff, Andrea Agosto and more. Hall's play is a tryptic of three distinct sketches: a comedy looking at lesbian erotic fiction; a study of domestic terrorism against the backdrop of the Oklahoma City bombing; and a reflection of the LGBTQ woman's role in culture in that era. —Julia Dixon Evans, KPBS.
