[Postponed] Beyond Gravity 2021

Friday, February 19 at 7 pm and Saturday, February 20 at 7pm, Pacific time Gravity and CounterPulse today announced Beyond Gravity 2021, presented online February 19 and 20, 2021, two evenings of radical, intersectional, body-based online performances and films, featuring nine emerging and early career Bay Area artists: Europa Grace, Gabriel Christian and jose e. abad with Gabriel Nunez de Arco, Abby Crain, Silk Worm, Chibueze Crouch, India Sky, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, and Rachael Dichter and Allie Hankins. The artists ask us to find our center of Gravity through survival, hope, lineage, resistance, or grief. How can we lean forward, even when in free fall? Beyond Gravity provides artists with a platform for presenting their work, sharing their distinct audiences, and bringing together their individual communities in an intersectional meeting of excellent and innovative art. Gravity provides artists robust production support, including Lighting Designer, Technical Director, and Production Manager, professional documentation services including photo shoots, and edited 2-cam video shoot of the performance, comprehensive marketing and PR campaign, including both providing services and offering marketing coaching/education, sensory access accommodations for the performances (Audio Description and Captioning), mentorship sessions with Gravity's Artistic Director Jess Curtis with the subject matter and focus of the mentorship to be determined by the artist, and a performance fee. Beyond Gravity 2021 is made possible by the generous support of the SF Arts Commission, The California Arts Council, Grants for the Arts, San Francisco and The Kenneth Rainin Foundation.
