Join RAWdance for our 20th anniversary theatrical home season! To celebrate, the company is sharing four world premieres for its return to San Francisco’s ODC Theater.
Two premieres will be created by RAWdance Co-Artistic Directors Smith and Rein. “Escape” dives into the culturally-rooted, vacation enclaves of the past, founded in response to the exclusion of immigrants, Black people, Jews, and queer folx from established resorts. Inspired by images and stories of the Borscht Belt and from Provincetown, “Escape” sets the scene for personal reflection against a backdrop exploding with vintage beach wear. Building on excerpts shared during the company’s 2023 rounds of the CONCEPT series, “Social Circle” dives further back in time to the Victorian Era, when the rules of etiquette exploded in an ever-shifting landscape of class and caste. Rounding out the program are two premieres by company dancer-collaborators — the company’s first time commissioning staged work by its dancers.
Stay tuned for more details!
