Breathless: Catie and the Robot, A Modern Dance Homage to Physical Labor Created by Catie Cuan and Ken Goldberg

BCNM faculty member Ken Goldberg and Catie Cuan present Breathless: Catie and the Robot, a modern dance homage to physical labor.

This contemporary duet created by dancer/choreographer/engineer Catie Cuan and artist/researcher Ken Goldberg pairs Cuan with an industrial robot arm for a dance performance that shows appreciation for the work performed by humans every day, and contrasts the the beauty, strength, and frailty of the human body with the relentless precision of machinery.

Their performance will be held at the San Francisco Exploratorium on Thursday, December 12, 2024 from 7:30-9:30 PM.

Tickets can be purchased here! Click the lower "Buy Tickets" button.

If you cannot attend that Thursday evening, there will be kid-friendly informal versions of the performance and discussions on Saturday, Dec 14, 2024 from 1:00-3:00 PM.
