The Lab is hosting a 12-hour virtual Dance A Thon that will kick off on Saturday night, April 10th. The online event was created in order to raise some much-needed funds for the 35+-year-old local nonprofit and performance arts space due to economic hardships resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The nightlong event will feature 10+ popular music artists who will be helping to DJ and/or act as emcees for the virtual dance competition. Join us for the wildest dance party on the Internet and help us raise $25,000 to support Bay Area artists! This 12-hour dance marathon will feature dancers beaming in from webcams around the world, fantastic prizes from Bandcamp, artists emcees, and world renowned DJs:
With DJs Moor Mother * William Basinski & Preston Wendel (Sparkle Division) * Matmos * Dan Deacon * The Garbage Man (Grouper) * Greg Saunier (Deerhoof) & Sarah Harris (Lucky Baby Daddy) * Marina Rosenfeld * Discostan * Maria Chavez * Alejandro Cohen (Dublab) * Emcees Peaches Christ, Fauxnique, Marvin K. White
Once dancers have $75 in backing they will receive a link to join the Dance A Thon. Each hour will consist of dancing online with world-class DJs and a ten minute break period hosted by artists and performers.
