Nocturnes
West Wave Dance Festival
Friday, September 29th, 2017, at 8pm and
Sunday, October 8th, 2017, at 8pm
Community Music Center
544 Capp St,
San Francisco, CA 94110
Sonsherée and Megan will be presenting a new duet with live music from Caroline Penwarden for West Wave Dance Festival's 26th year, focused on a specific genre of music: nocturnes. Originally a nocturne referred to a piece of music played for an evening party, now the familiar form is a single-movement piece inspired by the night. This festival presents the public with several evenings of nocturnes that contrast or comment on our wakeful, busy, and often over-stimulating lives, while bringing to light what is normally covered by darkness.

Flyaway Productions presents a site specific dance that asserts women’s credibility.

Brought to life by Megan Lowe, Bianca Cabrera, MaryStarr Hope, Yayoi Kambara, Sonsherée Giles, and Sonya Smith, The Right to be Believed will use flight, inversion and a defiance of gravity to subvert limitations, to delight in the body despite unjust constraints, and to claim public space as a proving ground for women to be taken seriously in the nation’s collective imagination.
