September

"When is Push performing again?" An enthusiastic cry from a dance friend/ patron yesterday. Driving over the beautiful Bay Bridge looking at gleaming water over the coast, I realized a lot is coming up.

Up Next is 2nd Sundays, and a lecture/ demonstration of the multimedia solo Judgments In Milliseconds. At that moment, I began to realized that after our home season we're in for some fun and excitement. We look forward to a few more mixed bill performances and sharing full length performances with some exciting dance companies.

We're still digesting the fact that a new work is starting in October and the rest of year we can expect a lot of fascinating community outreach. Dancers' Group and CounterPULSE's 2nd Sundays is a wonderful introduction into discussing dance for novices and experts alike. What a great way to welcome in September.

Spotted!

Yes, that's Raissa Simpson on the kiosk billboard on Mission and 3rd Street!

She performed with Zaccho Dance Theater's The Shifting Cornerstone at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts out-doors performances last week. The dance installation garnished some favorable reviews including the San Francisco Chronicle:

"Raissa Simspon, Guy Brenner and Dwayne Worthington all move through the bustling city crowds with ghostly remove." - Rachel Howard, dance critic
