Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, Embodiment Project will collaborate with KQED Arts and Yerba Buena Gardens Festival to produce SHE Gone Viral, a multimedia dance production that uses house dance, vogueing and waacking, documentary theater, live music, and video to explore gender-based sexual violence. Viral explores the reclamation of authority over one’s body, healing from sexual trauma, and how these different forms of storytelling can challenge rape culture.
Organization Summary
Embodiment Project’s year-round activities include street dance classes for youth and adults; workshops and conversations about hip hop histories; and annual performances of new evening-length works performed in both San Francisco and Oakland in order to reach broad audiences throughout the Bay Area. Our communities served include dance audiences, Bay Area POC communities, street dance enthusiasts, and youth.
