Sharp & Fine presents All Roads Are Lined With Teeth, a new evening-length show choreographed and directed by sisters Megan and Shannon Kurashige and created in collaboration with London-based playwright Amber Hsu and Oakland-based composer Aram Shelton. Featuring a cast of five dancers and a band of four musicians playing live, All Roads Are Lined With Teeth is part dance and part play, a surreal story about a woman who flees a crumbling world for a journey on which she encounters memories transformed into teeth, slow motion long distance runners, and houses built from benches.

Direction and choreography: Megan & Shannon Kurashige
Playwright: Amber Hsu
Composer: Aram Shelton
Dancers: Sonja Dale, Megan Kurashige, Shannon Kurashige, Chelsea Reichert, Jane Selna
Musicians: Jordan Glenn (percussion), Teddy Rankin-Parker (cello), Aram Shelton (soprano saxophone, Bb clarinet, bass clarinet), Cory Wright (tenor saxophone, bass clarinet, flute)
Lighting Design: Allen Willner
Costume Design: Emily Kurashige

Sharp & Fine was founded in 2011 in San Francisco by sisters Megan and Shannon Kurashige to facilitate the creation of dance work inspired by the rigor of classical ballet technique, the human intensity of contemporary forms, and the power of theatrical narrative. S&F collaborates with artists from a variety of disciplines to create pieces that are physically exacting and emotionally surprising, with the unexpected juxtapositions that come from a collision of artistic points of view.

These performances of All Roads Are Lined With Teeth are made possible in part by the Rainin Opportunity Fund and ODC Theater, and the generous support of the San Francisco Conservatory of Dance.
