Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!! 🤯

This #GivingTuesday - give to Sarah Bush Dance Project to support art that gives back: “Dance that embodies both individual gifts and the beauty and strength of real community. Dance that shares a vision of how together we can hold our communal pain, rage, and deep sorrow and after falling and diminishment, rise again and again and again. Dance that serves as living bread, thirst quenching water, a breath of fresh air.” -- (from Spirit & Bones audience member, Barbara Hamilton-Holway) Individual gifts are what make our work possible. Thank you for giving what you can to support our 2019 season! With love and gratitude and excitement to keep creating, Sarah Photo by Amal Bisharat

"I went last night. I cried the whole time. It thawed my heart out. I walked in a fuzzy minded zombie and left melting back into a human. It was like a good church service. I am so ready to love more people." — Robert Henry Johnson Dear ones, Thanks to all of you, Sarah Bush Dance Project presented a big, beautiful new work, Spirit & Bones to 3 full houses: October 26-28, 2018 at the Taube Atrium Theater in the Wilsey Center for Opera in San Francisco. Nearly 800 people got to see this impressive work. Spirit & Bones had an all-female cast of 15 dance luminaries ranging in age from 23 to 71, an all-female band of 5 stellar musicians, a female design team (choreography, lights, costumes, scenery, graphics), an all-female audio and electrician crew, house staff, box office, P.R., web manager and photographers. As an artist, I was driven to make a work that would provide people with a deep sense of being seen, honored, celebrated, heard, bolstered. I wanted this to be true in the creating, performing and witnessing of the show. I also wanted to surround myself with incredible women who inspire me. From process to product, Spirit & Bones fulfilled these desires. From the depths of my heart, bones and spirit, Thank you for everything you contributed to the creation of this work and to the community we built together. I do believe that each of us is, and together we are, changing the world. With love and gratitude, Sarah "The tenderness of the elder's blessing first brought me to tears. And I wept from then on until I smiled and laughed again as the scream turned into sound and tone and howling and in my very bones I felt changed. I remember now that I am supported by my sisters, daughters, grandmothers. I see in my mind the pulsing breath of that powerful force, dancers, women of all ages, shapes, sizes, colors, moving together, wings, paws, branches opening and closing with inhale and exhale. I see this, feel this memory and sitting here on my couch this morning the tears return. Not just the tears, which I welcome, but the shiver through my whole body reminding me of my strength and vulnerability, my dancing spirit, my bones." — Anna Landauer

So grateful to all the dancers I’ve gotten to work with! And thankful for all my students! #putyourfeetup and I’ll see you next week! #givingthanks
