The Source, 4-Day Community Festival

Reaching our 19th year to revise, reimagine, renew and transform. Artwork by Nikila Badua The Source: A gathering of intercultural experiences and expressions, encompassing creativity, wellness, self-love, and compassion–conjured by and for our diverse communities. Co-Presented by Dance Mission Theater and California State University, East Bay, this exchange unfolds over four days, radiating cultural and spiritual warmth while embodying principles of Reciprocity, Relationship, Imagination, and Dreaming.   Facilitated by Creative Leaders of Dancing Earth, this journey aims to collectively restore, nourish, and celebrate community: Inviting all to “Come As You Are,” “Create As You Are,” “Experience As You Are,” and finally “Reflect As You Are,” with an immersive community experience of ritual, performance, workshops, cultural shares, and ancestral connectivity through multiple exchanges.   Tickets: $0-$25* per day * Equal opportunities for all, regardless of financial status.

About Dancing Earth   Dancing Earth Creations dynamically activates our mission, to create contemporary dance and related arts through global indigenous and intercultural relationships centered in ecological and cultural diversity for creativity, health, and wellness.   Founded by Artistic Director Rulan Tangen, to serve a need rarely met in the USA, DEC gives hope and opportunity to Native, mixed, global Indigenous and BIPOC talent who have been largely outside the dialogue of mainstream performance because of lack of access. DEC is an organic constellation of largely self-taught dancers, composers, costumers, filmmakers, and spoken word artists.   Together, DEC artists work with community members, culture carriers, and inter-cultural elders to explore the rich diversity of ancestral heritage, contemporary identity, and relationship building, by collaborating on innovative ecologically themed performances. DEC’s work promotes environmental awareness, cultural diversity, and understanding between peoples through contemporary arts expressions.   “We gather as individual artists to create experimental yet elemental dances that reflect our rich cultural heritage as contemporary global peoples. We strive to embody the unique essences of cultural perspectives by creation and renewal of artistic and cultural movement rituals. Ancient and futuristic, our dances are an elemental language of bone and blood memory in motion.” - Founding Director, Rulan Tangen photo by Randi Lynn Beach   Your Donations Help Support Dancing Earth's   * International cultural exchange programs (recent and upcoming engagement with artists, community groups and culture carriers in Colombia, Mexico, Cuba, Australia and New Zealand), to create compassionate and sustainable relationships for creativity beyond borders.   * Mentorship program for emerging artists leaders, spanning peer mentorship in administrative management, fundraising, budgeting, producing, grant writing, contracting, support for developing directorial and choreographic practice, coaching solo works, and community networks for workshops - and the vast creative skills needed to sustain a free lance performance career!   * Cultivating high quality multi-media iterations to archive live work and as independent creative projects - as archival film footage is so often requested by our communities!   * Summer Institute scholarships for incredible emerging artist-humanists!   Support Dancing Earth 1446 Market St. San Francisco, California 94102, United States Unsubscribe or Manage Preferences
