About me: Anatomy Riot is on summer vacation! See you in September!
2009 Anatomy Riot has been taken over by a team of HOT guest-curators.
Sept/Oct/Nov will be co-curated by Cari Ann Shim Sham, Kristen Smiariowski, & Christine Suarez
With low-tech, do-it-yourself spirit in an easygoing setting, Anatomy Riot is an ongoing (almost) monthly dance/performance series, curated by choreographer Meg Wolfe & guest curators. AR started in October 2005; since that time, 230 artists and counting have performed at Anatomy Riot. AR encourages creative exploration and provides a platform for local artists to share what's new and what's in the works; you, dear audience, are spared from the high ticket prices and seat-squirming formality of a more
traditional theater setting, while seeing a diversity of works by up-and-coming & seasoned artists.
new dances (and other things), right before your very eyes.

"Anatomy Riot's "grab a drink and sit a spell" philosophy is just the sort of shot in the arm that the Los Angeles dance scene needs. Curator Meg Wolfe's choice of bar-type environments acts as the impetus for creative experimentation and lively discussion. Anatomy Riot can seem a down-and-dirty approach to dance presentation, but who better to get down and dirty than a bunch of dancers?"
(flavorpill l.a., 2006)
"The delicate efforts of trained dancers are often cast to the sleepy stages of upper-crust universities or, worse, squandered in cheesy adaptations of Disney films. But dancer/choreographer
Meg Wolfe, a former New York powerhouse who recently moved to LA, gives modern dance a much-needed jumpstart, curating Anatomy Riot " (flavorpill l.a., 2005)

hi past & future anatomy riotists,
As you may know, we've had performers visiting from San Diego for a couple of shows, as an exchange with the 4x4 series there. 4x4 was inspired by Anatomy Riot, and is directed by Liam Clancy and administered by Sushi Art and Performance.
http://www.sushiart.org/index.html
4x4 happens the second TUESDAY each month.
The stage is VERY small, only 4 feet x4 feet, it is in the center of the room, so the audience is on all sides.
If this particular scenario interests you, and you want to perform in San Diego at this event, let me know.
4x4 will pay a small fee towards transportation.
Check out our “HOLLYWOULD…” media arts festival for 5 DAYS of 160 experimental videos, films, media art, special events, music and site specific happenings from around the world on Hollywood Blvd! FREE!
Last time I went to anatomy riot I got art and a pastry. ...I also got forbidden to heckle by Kristina Wong, but the sugar tart eased the pain some so i guess that's ok. xx.x.xx.xx.x -greggychristo
