PERFORMING IN SF
4/4-4/6
Just a Shadow is a performance journey that celebrates life, and honors memories of lost loved ones. The project brings together 7 powerful artists — AJ Gardner, Sonsherée Giles, Megan Lowe, Marica Petrey (brand new duet), Frances Teves Sedayao, Roel Seeber, and Shira Yaziv — to share 6 distinct duets that highlight the unique strengths of each collaborator, including contemporary dance, site-specific dance, turf dance, contact improvisation, vertical dance, and live music. Through dance performance, MLD provides a platform for catharsis, empathy, and collective understanding, fostering connections that transcend individual stories and unite us in a shared journey toward solace and healing.
