UPCOMING PROJECTS
Lost & Found
You are invited to participate in and/or witness our new evening length work, Lost & Found, April 30th – May 8th.
Lost & Found is chapter 5 of the Wandering Ensemble’s Wandering in the Wilderness project, directed by Eric Kupers and created collaboratively by Dandelion Dancetheater and the CSUEB Inclusive Interdisciplinary Ensemble.
Lost & Found will take shape as a multi-layered structured improvisation performance in San Francisco at El Rio bar (3158 Mission Street) on April 30th and at Monkey Brains (933 Treat Ave.) on May 8th, both from 8 – 9:10pm, (with a community chorus participation workshop from 6:30 – 7:45pm) as part of the 2025 SF International Arts Festival.
Lost & Found explores multiple perspectives on the losses of the last five years as well as emerging futures arising out of the wreckage of old systems, institutions, beliefs, and habits.
Inclusive Dance, Music, Theatre, Ritual, Storytelling, and Spectacle weave an immersive performance ceremony guiding participants and witnesses towards vibrant aliveness.
Everyone is invited to watch and listen as they hang out at the bar. In addition, there will be simple improvisational structures for those who would like to come early each evening to learn (during inclusive performance workshops from 6 – 8pm as well as other times TBA). There is also the opportunity for more in-depth involvement for those who would like to join some rehearsals either online or in-person between now and then.
