THIS LAND
Oakland
Time spent in outside wild places contributes to our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Many people no longer have the outdoor experiences that previous generations took for granted. This Land is an artistic reminder that opportunities for first-hand experience with nature are nearby and accessible. It is an invitation to visit outdoor spaces within our city limits.
Join SBDP on a journey through a series of original site-specific performances to celebrate the wild of our city and ourselves. We invite you out to this incredible landscape of Oakland, from the developed and designed to its watery edges, enchanted redwoods and scenic hills.
The series will be launched at Lake Merritt in February, followed by free monthly outdoor performances choreographed for other iconic Oakland landmarks, culminating in a multi-media theater show in May. The series will be punctuated by video pieces, which can be followed on social media, as a vital reminder that our wild can be found anywhere and everywhere in this city.
Join SBDP for This Land Oakland.
Let’s come home to our wild!
Join us now on social media for video performances, then come to our live events in 2016.
