San Francisco Movement Arts Festival
This event is expired.
100+ local artists in Dance, Theater & Music - SFMAF will be celebrating the new year 2016 & past year 2015 in movement arts of the San Francisco Bay Area - as we turn the entire Cathedral into a stage - including the upstairs main church, downstairs conference center, gymnasium, hallways and three chapels. As audience enters Grace, performances will be going on, simultaneously, throughout the grand cathedral. There'll be over 14 Stations of the Movement (performances) - each will have it's own subject and title - a few will be religious in nature, most will not. There's no specific order as it's a Walkabout.
A few stations will have music, some in silence, others with verbal speaking and a couple with chanting. There'll even be a "Movement Choir" like you've never seen before.
Stations of the Movement will be live as you stroll around to witness the movement artists & we'll be celebrating plus saluting the history of dance, theater and music. And give special nod to Grace Cathedral itself by honoring the space, leaders & staff of Grace. There will be plenty of areas to sit and rest as you go.
Like attending a Farmer's Market but instead of produce it's performances...
The Stations of the Movement will be capped off with a main dance/theater piece, down the center of the church's main floor. After giving thanks & acknowledge our performers, there will be a free dessert reception downstairs in the conference & gymnasium centers AND there will be plenty of PERFORMANCES ANTICS going on - you won't want to miss these.
Examples of some of the stations:
Station of the Women-Bold
Station of the Cleansing
Station of the Whispering Bards & Ballet
Station of the Dress-Elegant
Station of the Moving Prayers
Station of the Masquerading Movement Choir
Station of the Women against War
and many more...
