With support from the California Arts Council, Embodiment Project will produce Get Free, a two-week free street dance festival that includes an opening showcase, 30 dance classes and panels, and two experimental battle events. Designed and led by choreographer Nicole Klaymoon, Get Free will take place in May 2020 in Oakland and San Francisco. The project will serve more than 1500 community members, 30 artists, and 75 street dance students.
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.
