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 Monaghan's Bar, swissnex/San Francisco, Theater Artaud, the Garage, the Herbst Theatre and Union Square.

Erica Essner and her five member company return to San Francisco from New York City as part of the company's 20th anniversary celebrations. The Co-Op was a Bay Area fixture before relocating to the East Coast in 2000. The company presents a section of "Moon Uprising" that was created as part of a residency at the Kaatsbaan International Dance Center in Tivoli, NY and features an original score by composer Miguel Frasconi. "You Go, I Go" is performed to music by Gustavo Santaolalla and features traditional Argentinean music infused with polyrhythm and harmonic overtones.

"Intermediate Levels of Disturbance" looks into the growing homogenization of the American landscape and the long-term effects it has on our lives and our communities.
In the natural world, diversity is fundamental for the survival of species and environments. Living creatures depend on each other in order to survive. Instead of taking inspiration from nature, when Americans create their communities and environments they build massive one-stop shops that specialize primarily in convenience and low prices. "Intermediate Levels of Disturbance" confronts the ideas of progress, sustainability and growth and questions whether our communities can be both bigger and better. The piece takes the point of view that humans can learn from the natural intelligence of the world to create thriving communities.
