Dandelion Dancetheater is situated at the crossroads of dance, theater, community activism, healing, and new performance forms. We are fascinated by artistic experimentation, vulnerability, risk-taking, and a simultaneous commitment to the creation of radically accessible art. We view the exploration of the endless possibilities of the human body as a potent means for personal and collective growth; and share this exploration with diverse populations through performance, teaching, speaking, video, and writing.
Dandelion Dancetheater, formed by Kimiko Guthrie and Eric Kupers in 1996, creates performance work interdependent with a passionate commitment to teaching and community involvement. We teach and create work with dancers, actors, musicians, political organizers, academics, therapists, children, adults with developmental and/or physical disabilities, gender theorists, fat acceptance activists, spiritual seekers and more. We have performed throughout California, across the U.S., and abroad in India and Scotland and have, in a relatively short time, grown into a powerful and provocative presence in the SF arts community.
