RAWdance has announced the premiere of The Healer, a quartet with choreography by Katerina Wong, presented in a livestream screening. With renewed vigor and purpose, The Healer mines the ancient history, systems and beliefs of Traditional Chinese Medicine as a source for physical invention, sensory attunement and solace during precarious times.

The Broad Stage has announced its 2020/21 season. The announcement comes at a delicate time as the arts are reeling from the pandemic.

After expanding to the East Coast in 2019, RAWdance's three artistic directors will unite March 12 a?" 15, 2020 for TRIPLE TAKE, an eclectic trio of new works for an ensemble of ten dancers. Performances run Thursday to Saturday at 8 p.m., and Sunday at 3 p.m. Tickets, $25 - $60, are now on sale at odc.dance/tripletake. Triple Take is co-presented by ODC Theater.

In celebration of its 15th anniversary next year, RAWdance is proud to announce ROAR, a triple bill featuring two world premieres, January 24 – 26, at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (YBCA) in San Francisco. Rounding out the program is a remount of Brilliant Alarm, which premiered last year as part of YBCA's Transform Fest. Tickets, $25 - $40, will go on sale November 6 at YBCA.org. Roar is presented in association with YBCA.
