Feb. 23 and 24 at 8pm; Feb. 25 at 3pm
Robert Moses' Kin (RMK) announces its 23rd Season, featuring the World Premiere of "Bootstrap Tales," a new work choreographed by Artistic Director Robert Moses for three performances only, February 23-25, 2018 at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater. "Bootstrap Tales" is inspired by the Company's new outreach initiative, The Bootstrap Program, designed to engage San Francisco foster youth in the process of creating a life in the arts and will feature musicians whose primary performance venues are the streets of San Francisco.
Each participating musician working in their area of mastery -- from buckets to hambone flesh -- will contribute to the original score for "Bootstrap Tales." They will then join master musician and composer PC Munoz in the recording studio to complete and master their new work.
"Street artists are often 'class commuters,' welcome as long as they provide pleasures, an escape, a spectacle or a there-but-for-the-grace-of-God moment of relief," explains Moses. "As a result, for many of them their lives and livelihoods and the value put on their art is constantly changing." In addition to providing the score for "Bootstrap Tales," this project will act as a form of agency and a promotional tool for these artists.
