RAWdance hits the park, bringing a diverse selection of slick, athletic creations to the Yerba Buena Gardens Festival on September 5th and 6th. The special outdoor repertory season continues RAWdance's 10th anniversary celebration, honoring the company's determination to deliver dance directly into the public sphere.
RAWdance will perform three company repertory favorites. - Artistic Directors Smith and Rein share their signature duet After 5:00 (2007, reinvented 2009) which has been performed on stages throughout the US and Asia. Criticaldance pronounced it "passionate and volatile" and the St. Louis-Dispatch recently noted the work's "riveting intensity" with the "precision of a scalpel." - RAWdance offers excerpts of the evening-length work, Hiding in the Spaces Between (2011), performed for the first time outside the theater. Looking at our shifting identities in the growing digital world, the piece brings a dose of 80s futurism to the Gardens. - Rounding out the program is the ensemble piece, Checkbox (2007). Originally created for the Jewels in the Square series in San Francisco's Union Square Park, Checkbox was the company's first-ever outdoor work.
The Yerba Buena Gardens Festival presents RAWdance in the heart of the gardens, on a raised stage in front of the MLK Memorial Fountain. An open air and open seating show, the presentation provides a unique opportunity to sample the work of this growing force on the Bay Area's performing arts scene all while enjoying one of San Francisco's most beautiful landscaped settings in the heart of downtown.
