Help Save West Wave
Head in the clouds a new dance creation by TAGsf that is centered around organized chaos that moves in and out of structure and improv featuring live visuals from Cats are the new dogs and brand new music by David Molina. Anyone who has ever seen any TAGsf shows you know to expect high quality balls to the wall unique movement with an urban edge, inventive lighting and of course brilliant performers but unfortunately this new commission might not ever happen because the West Wave Dance Festival based out of San Francisco might not happen this year due to lack of funding.
West Wave showcases local choreographers and dance companies all across the bay and beyond to commission new works every summer with performances in venues such as Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Z-Space and this year Zellerbach Hall in Berkeley. West Wave has featured artist such as Alex Ketley who had his work shown on So You Think That You Can Dance, Kara Davis who runs Project Agora and Maurya Kerr formerly of Alonzo Kings Lines Contemporary Ballet who now has her own company Tiny Pistol and is the 2011 winner of Hubbard Street 2's National Choreographic Competition. Last year five artist were nominated for an Isadora Duncan Dance award after they're run at West Wave (SFs version of the Bessies in NYC). This particular festival provides a great outlet for artist to show the work and audiences always look forward to all of the various programing. Last year West Wave was the hot ticket in the city with performances by members of Batsheva Dance and Zuhkov Dance Theater giving audiences a real treat by the caliber of excellence from its artist who are from and have performed all across the globe. Please help insure that West Wave is able to continue its 21st season by donating below.
