About the Show
Get swept up in The Waves, an expansive, intimate, surreal, and impressionistic contemporary dance about sound waves, light waves, brain waves, and intersubjectivity. The piece considers how individuals experience and craft their own sense of reality. The Waves is conceived and directed by Charlie Slender-White, and utilizes Virginia Woolf’s novel of the same name as a primary source text.
FACT/SF is a San Francisco-based contemporary dance company, founded in 2008 by Artistic Director Charlie Slender-White as a platform for creating choreography, organizing collaborators, and building community. FACT/SF’s work is both body-based and concept-driven, and often explores themes of individuality, groupthink, and disorder. FACT/SF also runs a set of programs, called Fieldwork, which enrich the local dance ecology by providing material resources and opportunities to other contemporary dance artists in the field.
