Thrill to the evocative power of live performance with ODC/Dance at Dance Downtown, March 5-8, 2026 at the Blue Shield of California Theater at YBCA.
Catch the world premiere of After the Deluge from Founding Artistic Director Brenda Way, Theories of Time by Co-Artistic Director Mia J. Chong, and Caught in the Act, a world premiere from guest choreographer Gypsy Snider, Co-Founder of The 7 Fingers and Dear San Francisco.
On Friday, March 6, enjoy a special one-night-only Gala Night program featuring the world premiere of After the Deluge as well as the celebrated return of Investigating Grace by Brenda Way, named an American Masterpiece by the National Endowment for the Arts in 2011, then rub elbows at an exclusive after-party at W San Francisco.
An exhilarating program of adventuresome works invites audiences into the visceral, uplifting and provocative power of dance as the next chapter for ODC unfolds in Mia J. Chong’s inaugural season as Co-Artistic Director, building on California Hall of Fame inductee Brenda Way’s incredible legacy.
