  • About the event

    San Francisco Trolley Dances, now in its 15th anniversary season, is a two-day, free (with Muni fare) public performance curated by Epiphany Dance Theater artistic director Kim Epifano. Artists and dance ensembles are paired with specific sites along San Francisco’s MUNI route, where they are invited to create an 8- to 15-minute dance piece in response to the physical environment, architecture and history of the area. This year's route takes us from Mission Bay to SoMa on October 20 and 21, 2018.  

    This admission-free festival has been dubbed “art for citizens” and “a gift to the City” by past attendees, and a record of 5,000 people have joined us for a weekend of art and community. 

    Kids on Track, the educational branch of our event, offers free in-school workshops to schools in underserved neighborhoods and invites these schools to join our Kids on Track performance day on October 19. 

    Why should you sponsor?

    Contributing to San Francisco Trolley Dances supports the following:

    • Ensuring public access to free, high quality performing art, particularly site-specific dance 

    Exposure to at least 4,000 attendees, many of whom are professionals, families, and artists in the Bay Area 

    Arts education for marginalized Bay Area youth; our Kids on Track program reaches out to underserved schools in San Francisco and offers free in-class workshops on site-specific dance and art

    • This year, artistic director Kim Epifano will be offering workshops with Mercy Housing in Mission Bay to share the power of art with low income and elderly individuals/families

    • Providing donations that support our team of volunteers that essentially keep the festival running smoothly from our first performance site to the final bows at our last performance site

    Encourage inter-cultural dialogue and learning, on stage and in the streets, inspiring social change with art as the vehicle
