A spokesperson says---
“...The CONCEPT series: 34 lineup includes A(laj)a Badalich, a choreographer and founder of Fermata Ballet Collective and a current company member with AXIS dance company. Badalich will share a solo, developed through research supported by the 2025 AXIS Choreo-Lab Fellowship, that traces the self as it becomes both the source and the mirror. Pearl Street Dance Collective previews a trio, created by Artistic Director and Founder Elizabeth Wiehe, that will premiere at their upcoming season. The trio explores the feeling of fading childlike wonder, leaving behind a quiet, often unnoticed ache that settles in the body. Monique Jenkinson, known for her more than two decades of work as a faux queen blending drag, cabaret, and contemporary dance, brings unplugged excerpts of her upcoming production “How Do I Look?” Her pared-back, no-drag sampling offers an intimate taste of Jenkinson’s much-hyped, upcoming production. Natalya Janay Shoaf, a process-oriented choreographer and teacher who believes that movement is a stepping stone for self-discovery, will be sharing a duet. And The Straw Dogs, a collective of powerhouse dance artists who have been hitting Bay Area stages for 25+ years, will bring a solo for performer Camille Henrot.
For this round of the salon, RAWdance will share early experiments and ideas towards Echo, a new work that will be developed through a residency at Jackson Square’s 836M gallery this fall..."
