Brian Shapiro’s CultureWorks, a San Francisco based performance art collaborative presents, UNCERTAINTY AVOIDANCE: Ain’t it Good to be in the Know. Based upon a theory developed by Dutch sociologist Geert Hofstede and set against the backdrop of Mr. Shapiro’s own peripatetic life, this 70-minute performance features several sprightly vignettes that recognize the great lengths our species will go to be assured of tomorrow. Utilizing theatre, live music, video projections, and more, Shapiro’s company makes plausible predictions and draw out peculiar positions that would surly unnerve any legitimate scholar.
UNCERTATINTY AVOIDANCE features Mr. Shapiro, East Bay percussionist Greg Beuthin of Balé Techlorico, San Francisco saxophonist Aaron Cohen of the Aaron Cohen Trio and Golden Gate Park Tunnels, Berkeley fiddle player Stephanie Prausnitz of the Stairwell Sisters, and video artist Bijan Yashar, and is supported by directorial assistance from Sharon Walton of the Cowell Theatre, set-design by visual artist Heather Ford, lighting design by San Francisco Fringe Festival Technician Curtis Overacre, and video editing by Berkeley’s Bijan Yashar.
