Live Oak Theater

Mosswood Park, 3612 Webster Street, Oakland, CA 94609

As the pilot performance of The Dyke HERstory Dance Tour, PITCH a new, site-specific dance theater project exploring Bay Area queer history through movement, storytelling, and community engagement. Set on the softball field, five dancers embody Bay Area dyke ancestors reuniting as an all-star "ghost team." Each player steps up to bat, sharing her story through recorded audio and embodied movement as the ensemble rounds the bases in a collective portrait of queer community, remembrance, and play. Directed and choreographed by Sarah Bush with research lead by KJ Dahlaw, the work features an original live score by KKINGBOO and B. Dukes of 7000COILS, the Oakland-based, Black-owned, gender-expansive collective.Created by the multiracial, intergenerational, and queer-led artists of Sarah Bush Dance Project,&nbsp;PITCH celebrates the enduring legacy of Bay Area lesbian softball as both a cultural touchstone and a place of belonging. The work emerges at a critical moment, as many queer elders who helped build lesbian and dyke communities in Oakland and San Francisco are aging while their stories remain largely absent from public archives and artistic representation. Rather than treating history as something fixed, PITCH invites audiences to experience remembrance as a living, joyful, and embodied act.Featured Ancestors &amp; CastTala Brandeis - Portrayed by KJ DahlawJewell Buds - Portrayed by Risa OfeliaSensei Keiko Fukuda - Portrayed by Frances SedayaoLenn Keller - Portrayed by Richelle DoniganPat Parker - Portrayed by Jetta MartinFreePresented by Sarah Bush Dance Project

Looking Glass Photographic Outfitters

Here in Berkeley, Looking Glass Photo is where gear, guidance, and community come together—since 1971. We’re a boutique-style camera shop that outfits photographers with exactly what they need and nothing they don’t. That means real conversations, hands-on help, and curated solutions across top brands like Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, Sony and more. We carry new gear, offer a thoughtful selection of preowned and consignment cameras and lenses, and place special orders when the perfect fit isn’t on the shelf. Learning is at the heart of what we do. Join our small-group classes and workshops, sign up for photo adventures in the wild (from tide pools to elk rut season), or dig into image reviews and practical technique sessions. Our Rentals program makes it easy to test drive the latest bodies, lenses, lighting and accessories—perfect for a weekend project or a big assignment—while our “Try Before You Buy” and paid Gear Outfitting service help you make confident choices. What makes us unique? Personalized coaching before and after a purchase, community-driven events (including our Photo Friends network), and a values-driven approach that puts longevity and stewardship first. We stand behind the gear we sell, keep darkroom and printing essentials flowing, and cheer on your growth every step of the way. Whether you’re brand-new to photography or a seasoned pro, Looking Glass is your trusted partner for classes, adventures, rentals, consignment and used gear, and a welcoming community that lifts each other up.
