SF’s “Dancing in Snow” Performance at ODC Theater (Dec 1-4)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

DANCING IN SNOW (2022), choreographed by Roderick George, is a sophisticated and thoughtful statement about Black and Queer experiences and how cultural appropriation and tokenism separate Black dancing and culture from Black bodies.

The poetic title is a metaphor for those who have had to assimilate into a society of White America. George’s new work is a deeper redevelopment of TAINTED, a solo piece that premiered in 2020. The original work narrowed on the vision of the dancer, Jamila Glass, and how she could see her existence as the only Black woman in white spaces. In the new work with a larger cast, Glass is joined by LACDC dancers Kate Coleman, Nicole Hagen, Colleen Hendricks, JM Rodriguez, and Ryan Ruiz, and guest artists Edgar Aguirre, Sam McReynolds, and Dave x.
