April 1, 2019: Amy Foley on making feminist dance

Amy Foley, founder of Bellwether Dance Project and one of the latest feminist choreographers on the Bay Area scene, talks about what it means to make feminist dance, challenging a tradition that imposes narrow constraints on the bodies and lives of women dancers. Foley's inaugural home show, Let Slip the Witches, includes three premieres - two she choreographed herself as well as a solo created for her by Bay Area treasure, Robert Moses, as well as her piece "Thighs and Wages," which explores society's devaluation of women. Let Slip the Witches shows Thursday-Saturday, April 4-6, at ODC theater in San Francisco or call 415-863-9834.
