San Francisco Movement Arts Festial

With 100+ local artists in Dance, Theater and 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 unique subject and title - a few will be religious in nature, most will not. There's no specific order as it's A Walkabout in Grace thru the Movement Arts.

A few stations will have music, some in silence, others with verbal speaking or chanting. There'll even be a "Movement Choir" like you've never seen before. Oh my gosh...

As you stroll around, at your own pace, to witness the movement artists, we'll be celebrating plus saluting the history of dance, theater and music. In addition, giving a special nod to Grace Cathedral itself by honoring the space, the leaders and staff of the Church. There will be plenty of areas to sit and rest as you go.

Local artists will be presenting new works, custom designed for the interior sites of the Cathedral. AND there'll be a few guest artists from Southern CA, Los Angeles area.

Like attending a Farmer's Market of 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. We will give thanks and acknowledge our performers. Right afterwards, there will be a dessert reception downstairs in the conference and gymnasium centers AND there will be plenty of PERFORMANCE ANTICS going on - you won't want to miss these. All are invited to the reception.
