On January 29th, 2016, DREAM TIGERS were asked to participate in an event at the Lobot Gallery hosted by the Oakland-based small press Timeless, Infinite Light and SALTA, a dance/performance art group also based in Oakland. The event was called SALTA is Timeless, Infinite Light and a zine was put out specific to the evening, describing the event as:

“A collaboration between SALTA and Timeless, Infinite Light on an evening of collisions/communion between dance and poetry. We have invited poets who verge on dance, dancers who verge on poetry. and people working in some indefinable way between and among the two. This evening is largely composed of durational works, in which the audience can come, go, and move around as they wish. Throughout the event, a crew of local poets will be transcribing/translating the performances into language to be displayed on one of the gallery walls. A dance party to cap the vibes.” 

As for DREAM TIGERS, the performance “BODY/LANGUAGE” was a collaboration of mediums, namely text, movement, and drawing responding to one another:

“DREAM TIGERS will use their bodies, drawings, and words. We will build a kind of text. We will open ourselves up to the creative process and share it. Through reciprocity and translation, meaning can be made. This is a collaboration between two bodies and three mediums, an engagement with hybridity. An embrace of queerness. A process. This is a collaboration between the thinker and the spectacle. All witnesses are collaborators. Just as all collaborators are witnesses. We will attempt fluidity, not separation. Communication, not fragmentation. Ephemera, not product. Multiple, not one. We will create choice through trial, expansion through change. Diversified practice. Form as inclusive, reactionary. We will progress through history and repeat. We will continuously return, but will we arrive? We will strive to represent and to express ourselves. We will riff off of the immediate past into the immediate future, annihilate hierarchies. Equalize the modes. Transpose moments. Veer from stasis. We will write slippery sentences and lines that live fleetingly. We will play a beautiful game of telephone. Ever-present, ever-mercurial, like a thought.”

More press for Tender Points: “Although Tender Points can be a difficult read, Berkowitz’s painfully honest recounting of her own experiences and her critique of the patriarchal medical system reveals how our society is failing women, especially those who have suffered from sexual assault or chronic illnesses.”
