SB-ADaPT (A Dance and Physical Theater) Festival
Celebrating the Movement Arts & Welcoming Emerging Genres!
Events occurring June 8th – June 25th
A Project of the Future Traditions Foundation & Sponsored by SonneBlauma Danscz Theatre
Hello and Happy Day Lovely Community!
Oh my goodness, this event has become a beast, but a most kindly sort of beast. When we set forth to realize the dream we had no idea that the dream had something else in mind, or else, frankly we would have said to the dream – you’re nuts, no way can we do all of that!!! With 100% volunteer efforts on a shoestring budget? The initial design was for two shows at Center Stage Theater featuring 16 companies with a private artist exchange, some social gatherings, hopefully two master classes and the notion of including dance films somewhere, somehow…
Gosh - like a wildfire really but we THINK we have it under control (or it us.)
Stay tuned to the website in that things are still continuing to evolve as we take in special requests and do our best to accommodate special wishes!
Bestest!
P.S. Whoever makes it to all the events wins a trip to Maupiti (ahhh...that would be Misa & Stephen...our number one volunteers!)
Loving and Stressed Regards,
Misa on behalf of team SB-ADaPT

PASEO NUEVO MALL - in the amphitheater: Dance in Open Spaces

Our intent for the Festival was to be open to the requests of visiting artists as well as the community to integrate their ideas. Lamara Heartwell wanted an outdoor component so here we are! A GREAT mix of genre's of movement art not represented at the Center Stage or Fishbon places & spaces: Fusion Dance Company (hip hop), Got Country? (a wild blend of contemporary dance and line dancing by master choreographer Marilyn Romeo), NECTAR Collaborative (contact improvisation), Hip Brazil by Vanessa Issac (brazilian dance) & Jatila and Dzhamala! Ensemble (middle eastern dance and music followed by a free lesson by one of Santa Barbara's most beloved ethnic dancers (and phsycist!)

Christine Suarez from Santa Monica is remounting her "Beach Dance" to be celebrated Guerrilla Style. Everyone and anyone who wants to spends an hour learning the phrase by the volleyball courts and then do it to it along the beautiful Santa Barbara seashore!

ELECTRIC LODGE, Studio Showing: Venice Beach CA
$10 - all proceeds benefit the Electric Lodge
We’ve arranged our FAVORITE STYLE of sharing work – in an intimate studio showing at the Electric Lodge. Simya Sanat from Istanbul, IGEN from Slovenia, Rubans Rouge Dance, SonneBlauma Danscz Theatre and L.A. choreographer Melanie A. King will be sharing work. We are putting the word out for other L.A. choreographers to submit work. We've space for another 15 or 20 minutes of choreography. We figured, since our international artists are flying half way around the world that we'd make every effort to grantt their wish to share their work with the L.A. community.

FISHBON - Performing Opportunities in Europe and Simya Sanat presents on Meditative Dance
FREE - donations welcome
Like we said - this Fest keeps growing and morphing as 9th hour funding comes in for artists who weren't sure they would be able to make it while others have had unexpected challenges get in the way of their attending. One of the things that is emerging are a series of presentations by Simya Sanat. We know for sure ONE of these will be at Fishbon, and we may include one at the Shop Talk reception. We are sorting out the details.
Here is what we DO know will be shared with the community. ONE: Ilkay Sevgi and Derya Yuksek will present a lecture on the following: Performing Arts in Turkey and Networking throughout Europe: Infrastructure for Partnerships and Joint Projects between Turkey, EU and USA. TWO: the Simya Sanat Dance company from Istanbul will present about an incredible process called Meditative Dance which incorporates Sufism philosophy into a movement process that focuses on body-mind balancing through an East and West synthesis. We are hoping to arrange for Sinan to teach a master class as well!
