After three years of vigorous growth, The Garage presents an extended run of Dancing @ The Garage as part of this year’s National Queer Arts Festival. The Garage's Artistic Director, Joe Landini founded a new dance company called the San Francisco Moving Men and is producing.
Since opening in March 2007, the space has featured over 120 groups since opening and has hosted the SF Fringe Festival, the National Queer Arts Festival and Footloose's Women on the Way Festival. The space has become especially well-known for its residency programs, RAW (resident artists' workshop), AIRspace (queer arts residency program) and Raw and Uncut.
“I think this is an exciting opportunity for us. We really wanted to create a project that was accessible to both locals and San Francisco visitors and contemporary dance is really hot right now because of shows like 'Dancing With The Stars' and 'So You Think You Can Dance." says Landini
