With support from the California Arts Council, Jess Curtis/Gravity will engage Marc Vogl to assist in the review of our current strategic plan (2018-2020); assessment of outcomes from that plan; and determination of changes to be made to structures and content as part of our new 5-year Strategic Plan (2021-2025.) Vogl will also provide targeted writing support; guidance on articulation of new/refreshed strategic outcomes; and suggestions for revision as we create our new Strategic Plan.
Jess Curtis/Gravity: creates, produces, and tours original works of body-based performance that physically explore and address issues and ideas of substance and relevance to anyone with a body; educates professionals, students, and members of the public with physically accessible workshops presented in cities throughout the US and Europe; nurtures emerging artists through our BEYOND GRAVITY incubation program that provides artistic mentorship, professional guidance, and fiscal sponsorship; fosters international exchange through co-productions that mobilize our international network to bring international artists to San Francisco and help San Francisco artists present work abroad; supports the presentation of free performances in public spaces through our POP UP PERFORMANCES PROJECT program, which commissions Bay Area artists to present site-specific work on city streets; and provides access services and consultations to make performing arts more inclusive of people with disabilities through the GRAVITY ACCESS SERVICES program.
