San Francisco Performances presents the San Francisco debut of the British company, Rosie Kay Dance, in four performances at the Atrium Theater in the War Memorial Veterans Building. The company will perform a full length work called "Five Soldiers", which is a timely look at how the human body is used in war. It provides an intimate view of the training that prepares soldiers for the sheer physicality of combat, for the possibility of injury, and the impact conflict has on the bodies and minds of everyone it reaches. The piece was inspired by input from serving and former soldiers.

Highly physical, with astute performances and intense athleticism, they make works that excite audiences with a visceral experience they feel in their bodies and minds. They aim to connect with their audience and are interested in building new audiences and attracting people who may have never seen first-rate contemporary dance before.
Established in 2004 the company exists to nurture and further the creative talents of choreographer and director Rosie Kay, who is recognized as a leading choreographer in dance, film and theater. Working in partnership with producer James Preston the award winning Rosie Kay Dance Company makes a dynamic range of shows, always exploring in exciting ways what dance can be and how dance can be presented. There will be Q & A with choreographer Rosie Kay, veterans and audience members after each performance.
