"The D.I.R.T. Festival (Dance in Revolt(ing) Times), Dance Mission Theater's socio-political dance festival, returns October 25-November 2, continuing its tradition of presenting artists whose work explicitly addresses local and global challenges. This year's theme, "Come Hell or High Water," features dance, music, and visual artists. Three different programs will be performed over two weekends at Dance Mission Theater and outdoors at the 24th Street Bart plaza."
"The group has decided to use all the remaining funds from the NEA and a San Francisco Foundation for the Arts grant to address the current moment. This year's slate of artists is curated by Krissy Keefer, Dance Mission Theater's artistic director, and Stella Adelman, the theater's program director. "We are literally fighting for our lives. From the destruction of the constitution and the environment to the rise of fascism-we are at a precipice," said Keefer."
"Program A, which takes place over the first weekend, features an interdisciplinary performance by Naka Dance Theater. The piece, Fugitivity, looks at the question of who has lost the ability to move freely, who is forced to flee, and the underground networks that are keeping people safe. Performances will happen simultaneously inside Dance Mission Theater and outdoors at the Bart plaza."
