The image exhibits seven photos of dancers in harness under the words 'EMERGENCE’. Along the right side of the poster is the text ‘VERTICAL DANCE ARISING FROM THE BANDALOOP ECOSYSTEM'. The left… row shows three photos (top to bottom): 1) Suzanne Gallo is dressed in white pants and a white tank and is flying high in a split-leg jump over a concrete building. The photo is taken from below,
and hazy clouds provide a backdrop for Suzanne's flying body. 2) Rachel Maxwell is mid-jump, surrounded by granite boulders on the right and a flat granite wall on the left. Rachel's body is
nearly silhouetted against a partly cloudy sky. She has bent legs and is creased at the hip. 3) Rose Huey dances on the side of a white building dressed in bright yellow and green flowing fabrics.
They are captured in a jump with an extended body, their heart away from the wall. A bird flies close to Rose. The right row shows four photos (top to bottom): 1) Faith Elder is dancing on a
dimly lit stage in a light blue blouse and pinstripe pants. They are in a harness in the foreground of the shot and are moving through a wild handstand. White pieces of paper litter the stage and
fly through the air around them. 2) Olivia Sander is captured in a close-up shot dancing on a brick building. They are standing on the wall with their fingers curled in front of them. Her head is
in motion and her hair swirls in the air. 3) Roel Seeber and Megan Lowe perform on the side of a lighthouse. Roel is standing on the side of the building with one hand on his rope and the other
reaching to support Megan, who is extending out into space with an elongated body. The sky is a stormy grey and palm fronds peek in from the side. 4) Annalise Ritter flies high on the Breuner
building in Downtown Oakland. Annalise is mid-jump with an extended body photographed against a clear blue sky.
