| Artship Dance/Theater, with its unique music ensemble, will perform the segment "Navigation Songs" from the current production in rehearsals “Tarantella, Tarantula” which will premiere in September 2006 at the ODC Theater in the Mission district of San Francisco. | ||||||
| This contemporary piece of theater is inspired by the healing dance Tarantella (the antidote to the poisonous spider bite), and by the ancient numerical systems and navigational instruments all derived from the proportions of the human body. Being lost at sea, in the turmoil of suppressed emotions, or in high temperatures of an infection, the ancients solved problems of navigation, emotion and health through their knowledge of body proportions and functions. | ||||||
