The 2024 World Arts West Dance Festival is a three-weekend festival that showcases culture, wisdom, beauty, and activism through global dance and music, with a theme this year of “Dance as Activism.”
Weekend #1 opens up with our NEW Artist Dialogue Series + Dance Workshops at Dance Mission Theater.
The Artist Dialogue Series centers on themes such as dance as a form of resistance, female empowerment, the evolution of traditional dance in contemporary settings, and exploring queer identity within traditional dance. All dialogues will be moderated, recorded and include an audience Q+A at the end.
This public event will be recorded via photography and videography and used for future promotional materials, grant applications, and archival purposes.
