Bringing their recent debut to San Diego for two nights only, Seattle duo Jenny Peterson and Kaitlin McCarthy present a dance work of horror, humor, and friendship. Told through their distinctive aesthetic of the unhinged and uncanny, "DRIVE WOLVES MAD" tracks the aftermath of an inciting event and ambiguous line between victim and perpetrator. A musical score by Jenny Peterson riffs on predatory pop songs, altering and abstracting them as an act of reclamation. Peterson/McCarthy’s journey seeks to transcend archetypes authored by men, finding their way to a place of survival and remediation–a way to exist in a context of their own creation. Through the dance they move from a place of dissociation into states of empowerment–which sometimes looks like camaraderie, sometimes wild physical abandon, and sometimes a complete release of the societal obligation to be a palatable, consumable feminine entity. Featuring original costume design by Kaitlin McCarthy, this physical and vulnerable dance work culminates a decade of development in the duo’s most ambitious and risky performance to date!

Tanya Aguiñiga was born in 1978 in San Diego, California, and raised in Tijuana, Mexico. An artist and craftsperson, Aguiñiga works with traditional craft materials like natural fibers and collaborates with other artists and activists to create sculptures, installations, performances, and community-based art projects. Drawing on her upbringing as a binational citizen, who crossed the border daily from Tijuana to San Diego for school, Aguiñiga’s work speaks of the artist’s experience of her divided identity and aspires to tell the larger and often invisible stories of the transnational community. She founded AMBOS (Art Made Between Opposite Sides), an ongoing series of projects that provides a platform for binational artists. She was recently awarded the Latinx Art Forum: Latinx Artist Fellowship (2022), Heinz Award (2021), and an Americans for the Arts Johnson Fellowship for Artists Transforming Communities (2018). Her work is in the collection of the Hammer Museum, LACMA, Smithsonian’s Cooper Hewitt and Renwick Museums, and the Museum of Art and Design among others. Tanya Aguiñiga on Facebook / Instagram
