RAWdance presents the 17th installation of the CONCEPT series, a celebrated, cozy showcase of contemporary dance. Returning to the Joe Goode Annex, the series promises to fulfill your cravings for quality dance art while keeping your belly full of popcorn.
The CONCEPT series: 17 presents a truly engaging blend of local creative talent. Sharing a delightfully humorous solo for performer Anna Greenberg, Deborah Slater Dance Theater stays true to its form as "theatre from the expression of heart and soul" (Deborah Crooks). FACT/SF takes a hard look at the intimate, chaotic, and very human quest for satisfaction, testing out sections of their new work-in-progress, Relief, set to premiere this May. Hope Mohr Dance serves up an intriguing and strange duet for two men, performed by dancers James Graham and Patrick Barnes. Pulling out excerpts from their recent premiere, Cookie Cutter, Tanya Chianese's ensemble, ka*nei*see | collective, strives to remind us of the importance of celebrating the living, breathing, tactile moments of life. Amy Foley, known for her extensive history dancing in the Bay Area with companies such as Robert Moses' Kin and ODC/Dance, shares her choreographic vision with a technical, gestural, and moving piece for two. Host RAWdance rounds out the evening with a small taste of their upcoming 2016 premiere, Double Exposure, an evening-length work comprised of commissioned duets, crafted by 12 of the West Coast's most esteemed choreographers.
RAWdance was awarded a 2014 Goldie from the SF Bay Guardian, in large part in recognition of the vitality of the CONCEPT series. "An old-fashioned salon of serious fun but also serious art, the series has become one of the most congenial places to watch dance in SF." Critical Dance chimed in on CONCEPT series: 14, "A packed house, cozy performance environment, engaging choreography, yummy snacks, genuine and inviting hosts... an evening of modern dance doesn't get much better than this."
