Sarah Bush Dance Project today announces the World Premiere of Homeward, choreographed by Artistic Director Sarah Bush, about the variety and emotional complexity of the places and states we call "home," performed by a multi-generational cast of Bay Area dance luminaries, including Joan Lazarus and Sue Li Jue. These performances of Homeward mark the 10th anniversary season of Sarah Bush Dance Project.
Derived from an earlier work entitled HOME which she created in the wake of Hurricane Katrina during the George W. Bush administration, Homeward has been created during the current administration and in the very recent aftermath of Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria, and the devastating Northern California fires. The one-hour performance is comprised of scenes of family relationships, solos, duets, and ensembles exploring relationships and ideas about losing and finding home as a feeling and as a place. The music is a collection of various pop music from several decades.
"Homeward invites conversation about generosity and openness in a time tempting us with fear. We are surrounded by the problems of gentrification and homelessness, extraordinary housing prices, fires, and floods, " Bush explains. "Homeward is a break from the discord."
The intimate two-story Shawl Anderson Dance Center once a single family home which still retains the details of its original craftsman architecture provides a uniquely fitting setting for Homeward. Thirty minutes prior to the show, the audience is invited to wander through the building to observe several installations featuring dancers, video, objects, sound and lighting. The effect is to transport viewers with a sense of nostalgia, perhaps of their own homes and ideas of family.
Please note: Shawl Anderson Dance Center is not a wheelchair accessible venue. The audience will be directed to use the stairs to access the different performance spaces in this venue.
