Project Description

With support from the California Arts Council, REYES Dance will produce ¡Ay Dios Mio (Spanish for Oh My God), an evening-length work of live contemporary dance that explores the intersection of chronic pain, early trauma, and spirituality within the context of Latinx culture. All performances will include pre-show discussions and post-show Q&A forums between health professionals and collaborating artists to provide resources, education, and a platform for discussion on chronic pain, trauma, wellness, and building a healthier relationship to spirituality within Latinx and POC communities.

Organization Summary

REYES dance produces new dance films and live dance performances that are presented in different theaters in San Francisco, featuring works that investigate themes around domestic violence, religion, poverty and health within the context of Latin American culture. Throughout the year, we invite community members to work-progress-showings, discussions, workshops and feedback sessions to connect, to engage in important conversations, to share their experiences and to help shape the dance work with their valuable perspectives.

REYES Dance also curates an annual dance film festival, titled Dance Thrill Fest, featuring new short dance films created by women and/or BIPOC artists. With this film festival, we aim to give emerging artists from historically underrepresented backgrounds the resources to create a new dance film work and connect with each other and their respective communities. All artists are paid for their contributions and the dance films are presented at the Little Roxie Theater in the Mission neighborhood in San Francisco.
