About This Performance
Now in its eleventh year, San Francisco Performances’ annual PIVOT Festival is eagerly anticipated for its fresh, delightful sampling of captivating and compelling music of our time.
Guest curated this season by Andy Meyerson of San Francisco’s own The Living Earth Show, these three programs offer a thrilling and intimate survey of the networks, interconnections, and impacts of new music.
In this performance, diverse and compelling “bands” of Bay Area composer/performers share the stage for a thrilling evening of music and movement, including Bucket List (Mark Applebaum, Travis Andrews, Andy Meyerson) and KoollooK (Dennis Aman, Babatunji, Travis Andrews, Andy Meyerson) and Trust Me (Lynnee Breedlove, Travis Andrews, Andy Meyerson).
Artist Information
Performer Biographies
Bucket List is a band conceived by The Living Earth Show in collaboration with composer and creative catalyst Mark Applebaum.
The trio’s repertoire spans new complexity, experimental electronics, minimalism, funk, and jazz, often interwoven with theatrical and video elements. In Bucket List, whimsy and rigorous discipline coexist, yielding music that is as unpredictable as it is exacting—a testament to the creative chemistry between Applebaum and the ensemble he helped inspire.
KoollooK is a multidisciplinary collective (Babatunji, Dennis Aman, and The Living Earth Show) exploring the boundaries of sound, movement, theater, and performance. They are known for using physical space as a character for choreography and movement, new music and sounds, and the shared exploration of the boundaries of what live performance can do.
Trust Me is an acoustic punk/folk/storytelling band featuring Lynnee Breedlove and The Living Earth Show.It’s not an exaggeration to call Lynnee Breedlove one of America’s most important queer artists and most influential living storytellers. From his formative career as the lead singer of seminal dyke punk band Tribe 8 to his work as a trans activist in San Francisco (founding the nonprofit rideshare service The Homobiles) to his Lambda Literary Award-winning book and solo stage production Lynnee Breedlove’s One Freak Show, Breedlove has used a singular voice to tell queer stories of love, grief, joy, and growth for over thirty years.
