As part of SFDFF’s ongoing Raising Voices series, The “Dance Heals” film program gathers eight films that meet some of life’s hardest realities and answer them with movement. One of these films, “Sheltering Gestures” is a videodance that traces the ritual and spiritual movements revived by a group of young dancers who witnessed the gradual disappearance of the traditional Danza de las Tabliteras. Determined to bring it back to life, they learned its rhythms and choreography from the four remaining elders who still carried the dance in their bodies. Once again, these gestures echo the movements that decades ago filled the community of San Antonio, Bolívar, with pride, vitality, and collective spirit. A reception, in addition to a live performance by dazaun.dance, featuring Dazaun Soleyn, Jordon E. Dabney, and Claire Fisher-Mendez in their work “may we heal?”, will precede the films. Wednesday, November 4 at 7:00PM Catharine Clark Gallery Doors open with access to the reception and gallery: 6:30PM Program begins: 7:00PM This program is sponsored by Catharine Clark Gallery and BOXBLUR. Co-presented by the African & African-American Performing Arts Coalition and Black Choreographers Festival.

✨✨ Upcoming In-Person Performance: July 25th 2026 ✨✨ ⚡️SHARED SPACE ⚡️is an evening centered around process, experimentation, and connection. The performance features works-in-process by Fermata Ballet Collective artists : Mandi Moody, Lily Fox, Steph Young, Melissa Dawn and A(laj)a Badalich. Rather than presenting only finalized work, ⚡️SHARED SPACE ⚡️ invites audiences into the evolving creative process, offering a closer look at how movement is researched, developed, and transformed in real time. We are excited have A(laj)a Badalich’s latest work in process “don’t call me soldier; don’t call me lady” made in collaboration with FBC guest artist Jordon Dabney, making its Oregon debut at Shared Space 2026! This work in progress was originally commissioned for San Francisco’s 2026 Black choreographers festival & recently awarded from the San Jose Rotary, this piece is a live conversation between movement and sound on the exploration of identity, investigating the intersections of blackness, gender fluidity, and neurodivergence, examining how the body navigates the tension between being perceived by others and the layers of masking and code-switching usually endured; this work aims to reclaim one’s truth, the beauty of a complex identity, a shared ever-evolving environment, and an extension of tenderness between two daring to be soft. ✨✨ About the Collaborator ✨✨ Jordon Ellis Dabney is a musician and spoken word artist born & raised in Oakland, CA. They studied communications at Fordham University, Ethnic Studies at Cal State University East Bay, and now create music and writing for deeper understandings of humanity through their own experiences and the communities they have the honor of serving. Spaces like the Black Choreographers Festival, Dimensions Dance Theater, AXIS Dance Company, Dance Mission Theater, ODC and The Isadora Duncan Dance Awards have given Jordon opportunities to work closely with choreographers including Dazaun Soleyn and Alaja Badalich to bring interdisciplinary creative visions to life. This work is not to be missed - we hope to see you there! Tickets are offered at a sliding scale 5$-35

Phase 1: Intro to Project 5th-Quarter Bantaba 🇬🇳🪘🇸🇳 Over the past four years, I have participated in the creation of an amazing cultural work, 5th-Quarter Bantaba. This work examines & combines the drum and dance traditions of HBCU marching bands, Sabar (Wolof people of current-day Senegal), and Dundunba (Malinke people of current-day Guinea). Although it says 2023, it all started my senior year in college 2022. The current J5 squad at the time was honored to teach a workshop class requested by Ms. Latanya D. Tigner @dancing_cyiphers! The unique style of the Jackson State University Drum Major marching fundamentals/routines caught the attention of Ms.Tigner & she decided to include us in her amazing project. Showcasing the resemblance shown between the cultures! This was called the intro because it was our first time in their creative space & we are forever grateful for it. @gavinrhughes , @_johnathanjohnson , @mr._tmz & I had the privilege to travel & experience the project first hand! We joined with the amazing D5 @raycreational @jordon3d @jb_gifted2amaze @jfresh_inc @shawn_purpose87 to combine our unique style with the cultural practices of Doundounba, Takosoba, Bolokolodo & Sabar rhythm! Part one, stay tuned for more phases. #reels #summertime #westafrica #culture
