Zaccho Dance Theatre and Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture present the biennial San Francisco Aerial Arts Festival (SFAAF), featuring world premiere works by choreographer and Artistic Director of Robert Moses' KIN, Robert Moses, and choreographer Veronica Blair.
This will be Moses' first foray into aerial performance art with a new installation piece integrating older works with aerial explorations with ropes and harnesses. This site specific work will be performed at the Festival Pavilion as a matinee performance on August 20 and August 21.
Featured on the group program, Blair will premiere The RAINBOW is Enuf, a reimaging of legendary playwright Ntozake Shange's For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When the Rainbow is Enuf, expressed through the lens of modern circus.
Also performing on the group program are Montreal-born and Bay Area trapeze artist Shannon Gray, international aerialist Pamela Donohoo, and Acrobatic Conundrum from Seattle.
