The 36th annual SAN FRANCISCO ETHNIC DANCE FESTIVAL highlights the rich cultural and artistic diversity of the Bay Area. This year’s Festival includes 10 world premieres, 16 Festival debuts, and features dances from Bali, Bolivia, China, Congo, Hawai'i, India, Lebanon, Mexico, Okinawa, Peru, the Philippines, South Africa, Syria, Tahiti, the continental United States, and West Africa. Each weekend’s program is a different lineup and includes nine to ten performances in a two-hour show, with numerous cross-cultural, collaborative, and transitional pieces. This year's Festival includes a special weekend of performances where you can see all eight classical Indian dance forms on one stage, for the first time in the United States. While the Festival has often featured four of the classical Indian forms —Bharatanatyam, Kathak, Kuchipudi and Odissi—rarer are the remaining four: Kathakali, Manipuri, Mohiniattam and Sattriya. This weekend of Indian classical dance performances is presented in partnership with Sangam Arts, a Bay Area non-profit dedicated to connecting cultures through Indian classical arts.
The 2014 Festival opens on Thursday, June 5, with a special Rotunda Dance Series Tribute to Nelson Mandela, featuring a performance by Diamano Coura West African Dance Company. There will follow a series of workshops and panel dialogues throughout the Bay Area through June 8. The Festival then continues at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts with three weekends of performances June 14 - 29.
