About this Event

Get Ready for TRANSMARSH!
Soaring over the Turk and Taylor intersection over the Timbri Hotel in San Francisco's Tenderloin during SF Trans March Weekend, TRANSMARSH is a FREE outdoor vertical dance performance by trans people, for trans people — and all who love them.

Directly across from the site of the 1966 trans-led uprising against police brutality at Compton's Cafeteria — now operating as a for-profit Pr*son owned by GEO Group — B Dean/BODYSTORM, Pangaea, and tome rewild the Tenderloin with the memory of trans ecologies: the queer life that pulsed through this block, asking how we grieve the past, adapt to the present, and rise through the coming storms together.

BODYSTORM is an earthbound and airborne dance company based in the Bay Area. Via site-specific dance, we highlight the intelligent technology of nature and the body. Centering queer, multiracial, and multidisciplinary collaborations, our performances and workshops invite expansive possibilities; opening portals for resilient communities and imaginative futures. BODYSTORM was founded by B Dean, a transgender vertical dancer and global expert in the form.

"Trans folks are world builders. We imagine new ways of seeing and defy imposed expectations that demand uprightness in an upside-down world. Our bodies are experts at transition, at change, because the trans body is a force of nature, and nature is hella queer." — B Dean, Artistic Director of BODYSTORM.
