Project Description
With support from the CAC, funding will support Know Yourself 4.0, a free, day-long intergenerational arts and wellness workshop rooted in the theme To Be Seen, Heard, and Understood. Designed for BIPOC youth and their caregivers in Bayview-Hunters Point and East Oakland, and co-presented with ANYxMEANS, an Oakland-based BIPOC and Queer music organization, the program integrates dance, music, and mindfulness to strengthen cultural identity, emotional well-being, and family connection. Participants engage in youth and family sessions, culminating in a community reflection circle and creative showcase that honors their voices and stories. All materials, meals, and artistic support gifts are provided at no cost. In an ADA-compliant venue with full accommodations, CAC funds will support artist stipends, production coordination, accessibility services, meals, and outreach, ensuring a trauma-informed space where healing and joy thrive.
Organization Summary
Founded in 1999 by Micaya, The SF International Hip Hop DanceFest exists to support the cultural artistry and theatrical integrity of hip hop dance. The core programmatic goals of the SFIHHDF are to:
> Support the evolution of hip hop dance by presenting a range of innovative, high-caliber dance companies with world-class production values. Through these efforts, our goal is to garner positive attention for this rich artistic genre from dancers, audiences and the media.
> Broaden understanding of both dance and hip hop culture on the part of our audience and the Bay Area community, and use SFIHHDF as a vehicle for bringing together 3,500-4,000 culturally and economically diverse audiences to the theater.
> Contribute to the ongoing development and evolution of the genre by providing a consistent forum for its artists; by facilitating connections among hip hop dance artists, and providing mentorship opportunities for young dancers, and emerging artists and companies.
