Alayo Dance Company: Mouth Of A Shark

A reflection on the lives of immigrants, Mouth of A Shark is inspired in part by Somali poet Warsan Shire’s poem Home. It will incorporate the choreographer’s extensive knowledge of Afro-Cuban dance forms into a conceptual framework of the dual identities of immigrants. It is also informed by the time Alayo spent in his birthplace of Santiago, Cuba in 2020 and 2021, working with young professional dancers from Danza del Caribe—the company he danced with before immigrating to the US. The movement created and filmed in response to Shire’s poem,“No One Leaves Home; Unless Home is ...”

After Everything presents Four Songs To Cross The Threshold

After a storm so violent it kills the world and frightens the gods, Utnapishtim sees what remains. Everything he sees is a new and empty world that Gerard Grisey attempts to realize in his piece Four Songs To Cross the Threshold. After Everything presents a concert which explores the themes of death and transition in this piece and others in the program. Death from a place of anxiety, a place of love, and a place of sympathy; from the deeply personal death of a friend, to the powerful loss of an influential but unknown figure, to the tragic, long-terms disappearances and deaths of civilizations, languages, and worlds.

Dragons Dance & TWO IN SEVEN BILLION: We Aren’t Alone Here

This show is produced by Dragons Dance, and it will feature new work and Bay Area premieres by Two In Seven Billion, Babatunji Johnson and Charmaine Butcher, Dominique Hargrove, and Dragons Dance. “We Aren’t Alone Here” is a chance to bring physically-driven dance artists together from across the nation to connect with Bay Area dance communities. We can’t wait to share our work with you.

ChrisMastersDance: Mausoleum

In this new evening-length work, which is site-adaptive for being performed in the round and in the proscenium, dancers become videographers, redirecting the audience's gaze through live simulcast projections. Overstimulating and nonstop, the work interrogates our overconsumption of media, addiction to drama, inertia that concretizes unsustainable forms of life and work, and the inextricable link between love and loss—death only matters if care is established.

Andrew Pearson: Abbale (a dance-theater memoir)

Abbale, a dance-theater memoir, weaves together the true stories of 3 fatherly relationships, spanning 3 decades and 3 different cultures, as one man tries to understand just what it means to fill Daddy’s shoes. With compelling nuance and deep introspection, dance and theater collide through a series of moving stories and provocative choreography, getting at the heart of what it means to be a child, a lover, and a creator.

Who’s your daddy?
