Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, Embodiment Project will produce the Get Free Festival (GFF), a week-long street dance festival that builds community and uplifts BIPOC dancers. All GFF programming — including an opening showcase, 30 dance classes and panels, and two experimental battle events — is free. Designed and led by Rama Mahesh Hall and Nicole Klaymoon, GFF showcases vulnerable autobiographical stories and builds community through street dance. The festival will take place in July, with events across both Oakland and San Francisco. The project will serve more than 1500 community members, 30 artists, and 75 street dance students.
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.
