Wheels of Steel @ Sushi Performance and Visual Art, August 17,18,19, 1999
The event combined genres of dance, performance art, spoken word, street art, and music, which tirelessly advanced through nearly eight hours per day for three straight days.
Graffiti artists from all parts of California
and Great Britain painted two trucks on the street in front of the building. |
Each performance was timed and lighted to occur in a different location within the Sushi Performance and Visual Art theater. This created a sensorial push and pull of emotion for the audience, as well as, a literal movement from one part of the theater to the next.
Punk bands, World Genres, Reggae, Hip-Hop, and solo acoustic variations of all kinds rocked Sushi, conjuring the spirits of the Re-incarnation building itself. With the music came the dance, from Aztec to B-boys and Girls.
