A Sympathetic Listener
January 2009
San Francisco, CA as a part of the Women on the Way Festival
Artistic Directors and Choreographers: Lauren Mathis and Rachel Slater

In PINK HAIR AFFAIR's West Coast premiere, the audience traces the puzzle pieces of
one girl's odyssey, narrated in the abstract language of contemporary dance. From the
idealism of her childhood through the turbulence of adolescence, episodes of almost-grownup
interaction are rife with speculation of her yet unscuplted self...and who will be her
sympathetic ear? PINK HAIR AFFAIR's West Coast premiere.

You are invited to an old row home. Catch glimpses of the memories that live in the
decrepit house, while at the same time seeing it as it can be, with some remodeling and
fresh paint. Pink Hair Affair presents in memory of the deathtrap, a meditation on the plans
we make and the dreams we build while we wash dishes and do laundry. Who do we fold
into our dreams? This site-specific performance is directed by Anne MacGillivray Wilson and
co-choreographed by founding Pink Hair Affair members.

Philadelphia, PA as a part of the Philly Fringe
Choreographers: Lauren Mathis, Rachel Slater, Christine Steigerwald,
Anne MacGillivray Wilson

Hear about Pink Hair Affair’s debut performances?! I heard it’s a night overflowing with
athletic, enchanting explorations of subjects everybody has experienced: including
nightmares, gender identity, race, and the feelings of water like velvet over your skin when
you skinny dip on a late summer night under the moon.
