FLACC 2021: sii agua sí

Festival of Latin American Contemporary Choreographers is celebrating its 6th Annual festival featuring resistant, queer, indigenous, and hybrid choreographers of the Latinx diaspora.With 2 weeks of performance, master classes and panel discussions, Bridges & Bones is replacing ideas of borders and walls that separate and erase Latinxs in the US, by creating cultural bridges, honoring ancestors and building artistic alliances that unify 15 dance companies over 2 weekends at Dance Mission Theater and Berkeley Art Museum & Pacific Film Archives(BAMPFA). ​​The 2019 theme BRIDGES & BONES implies the literal bridge to cross from San Francisco to the East Bay, as well as, the metaphorical bridges and alliances needed to overcome the walls that separate Latinx communities and families across local and national borders.​FLACC artists with varied experiences of intersectional Latinx identities carry the weight of cultural bridge building in the bones of their own body or felt through a lineage of our Chicanx/Latinx ancestors. Bridges & Bones offers an opportunity for FLACCistas and audiences to come together to share this weight together with a refreshing and contemporary experience of inclusion. Having a visible presence in a performance gallery, the architecture of a museum, the proscenium stage,  reputable dance studios and an engaging artist discussion at one of the top universities in the state of California, FLACC is thrilled to offer dynamic new programs expanding across the Bay Bridge for 2 consecutive weeks this fall from SF to the East Bay.

<p>The Laguna Dolores was a block away from the Misión Dolores (formally known as Mission San Francisco de Asis), and Mission creek flowed on the 18th street side of Dolores Park in front of Mission High School where we will host the event. These waterways were filled with soil and sand in the early 1900's and continue to resist human intervention by flooding some basements in the area today. </p>
