Choreographer, writer, and composer Robert Moses joins the SF Aerial Arts Festival during Robert Moses’ KIN Dance Company’s 27th anniversary season. This will be Robert Moses’ first foray into aerial performance art with a new site-specific installation piece integrating older works with aerial explorations with ropes and harnesses at the Festival Pavilion.Moses has created over 100 works of varying styles and genres for his highly praised dance company, as well as composing many of the sound and narrative scores since 2008. For this new work for SF Aerial Arts Festival, the choreographer offers the following context:An oral history of God’s disappointment in man’s spiritual decline:On June 2, 2002, Moses sat down to interview God. This work comes from that conversation and subsequent interviews. But because God is so long-winded that the text and expected resultant book, part of which you’re holding in your hand, has been delayed (to give God a chance to take a breath). So instead Moses has decided to fill the gap between God’s Voice and the time it takes to take a breath with a (for this world at any rate) world premiere dance. Music, text, choreography by Moses… With help from what’s isz name.Post-show Panel: Body Sovereignty for BIPOC in Circus and Aerial ArtistsLocation: Festival Pavilion, Saturday 8/20 after 3pm showBlack and brown bodies in aerial and circus movement spaces continue to represent the nuances of race, class, and access in our society. Join us for a conversation with legendary Ringling Brothers artists PaMela Hernandez and Denise Aubrey, acrobatic designer Chloé Farah, choreographer Robert Moses, and facilitated by choreographer Veronica Blair about what it means to take up space and thrive in these unique forms of performance.
