In their San Francisco debut, the girls in pink wigs create a passage into one girl's perspective of harmony, asking: Who are these individuals who play in hopes of finding amity? Through a variety of angst-filled duets, merry, spontaneous trios and undulating video interactions, the audience watches puzzle pieces of her life: an odyssey of personal examination expressed in the language of abstract contemporary dance.

Lauren and Rachel are founding members of Pink Hair Affair and have performed in the Philly Fringe Festival, Group Motion's Spiel Uhr series and produced several independent shows. Lauren is pursuing her Master's at California Institute of Integral Studies. Rachel has been dancing professionally for Group Motion Multimedia Dance Company directed by Manfred Fischbeck. Both have classical ballet training and graduated with BFAs in modern dance performance from the University of the Arts in 2007.
