San Francisco International Arts Festival
The seventh annual San Francisco International Arts Festival (SFIAF) kicks off on May 19 and runs through May 30 with more than 40 performances and two major visual arts exhibits being presented by 32 San Francisco organizations at multiple venues throughout the City. With its annual theme, "The Truth in Knowing/Now: Threads in Time, Place, Culture," SFIAF 2010 will include numerous World Premieres, US Debuts & International Collaborations featuring leading artists from the Bay Area performing and exhibiting with and alongside their international peers from around the world. This year's festival includes dance, music, theatre and visual arts and events will take place at four venues at the Fort Mason Center (the Cowell & Southside Theatres and the Herbst and Festival Pavilions) as well as at The Dovre Club, Theater Artaud, the Garage, the Herbst Theatre and Union Square.
"Please Love Me" is a single mixed-media work that challenges the notions of site-specificity and aims to create a new work that is modular by design and free from the confines of creating and presenting work in a formal theater space. The piece consists of a distilled movement vocabulary, deliberately chosen for its effectiveness in a diversity of situations, venues and cultural contexts, and will be developed by the company in collaboration with digital-media artist Les Stuck. "Please Love Me" proposes that work can be created with complexity and rigor and can be accessible to audiences as a moving and startling art experience outside of the formal theater and in often-unpredictable spaces.
Note: The Foundry perform "Please Love Me" (2010, San Francisco Premiere).
