SAFEhouse Arts presents its ninth annual Summer Dance Festival, SPF9, with 10 programs packed into 5 days at ODC Theater. Featured artists include:
Alma Esperanza Cunningham Movement, Alyce Finwall Dance Theater, Brannigan/Eisen, Joann Selisker, Amy Lewis and Joe Landini, Joslynn Mathis Reed, ka*nei*see/collective, Lucia August/Everybody Can Dance, Maligrad Contemporary Dance Company, Mary Armentrout Projects, Peter & Co., project agora, requisitedance, Sarah Bush Dance Project, Steamroller Dance Company, The Anata Project and World Dance Fusion.
"With 17 solo and ensemble groups, SPF9 is our biggest festival to date," says SAFEhouse Arts Executive Director Joe Landini. "It's a testament to the continued vitality of the Bay Area's burgeoning dance scene, a cultural lab for new movement and performance ideas, and new modes of theatricality."
This year's festival, however, also marks Landini's return to the stage as a dancer in more than a decade. He is collaborating with Amy Lewis on a solo about his personal experiences in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood, slated to premiere as a site-specific walking tour in November. With concept and direction by Lewis and choreography by Landini, this work-in-progress is titled SOMA Now and Then. It will share a double bill with Steamroller, under the direction of Jesse Bie, on July 8 at 9 p.m., and Saturday, July 9 at 2 p.m.
Another highlight this year is an experiment in site-specific performance development led by artist and teacher Mary Armentrout, who will conduct a four-day workshop at ODC, June 27 - 30. Workshop participants including Julie Caffey, Melanie Cutchon, Tyler Eash, Chris Evans and Sheena Johnson will present their work as part of Armentrout's showing in SPF9.
