The 2022 FACT/SF Summer Dance Festival brings together an array of contemporary dance works by choreographers from the Bay Area and beyond. This year’s Festival features premieres by local groups FACT/SF, Amit Patel & Ishika Seth, Chinchin Hsu, and Sharp & Fine; as well as work from visiting artists Drama Tops (Seattle) and slowdanger (Pittsburgh). All 6 groups will perform each evening, and both evenings of the Festival will be followed by a short post-show discussion. The Festival has an estimated run time of 80-minutes, with one intermission.

The purpose of the Festival is to juxtapose a variety of works to spur dialogue, support artists and artistic growth, and present to audiences a range of perspectives. In its inaugural year, the Festival was described as “a very strong debut and a great addition to the SF dance festival circuit.” – Heather Desaulniers, DanceTabs

The FACT/SF Summer Dance Festival is part of FACT/SF Fieldwork, a set of programs that nourish the contemporary dance ecology by providing opportunities, support, and material resources to fellow artists. In addition to the Festival, Fieldwork currently includes Production Support Grants, Fiscal Sponsorship, Summer Dance Lab Scholarships, and our touring platform, PORT (Peer Organized Reciprocal Touring).
