2012 Trolley Dances

Each year Epiphany Productions transforms the City’s streets into stages through 9th Annual San Francisco Trolley Dances, a series of free contemporary dance performances along the T Metro line through the city’s southeastern neighborhoods and on to several performance sites in the Bayview-Hunters Point neighborhood.

For the price of a muni ticket (or a fast pass) see an extraordinary lineup of Bay Area dance luminaries performing outdoor, site-specific work.

– Performances are free, aside from the trolley fare (MUNI Fast Pass; or $2 general ticket)
– Arrive early, space is limited for each train.

To make sure you can see the shows, we advise getting there early, as it’s first come, first served (in past years they have handed out wristbands to early arrivals). So come early  and see these award-winning public dance performances on the move.
