Part of BANDALOOP’s Vertical Performance Incubator, SWAY brings together 50 years of collective experience in vertical dance, presenting works-in-progress by Becca Dean, Melecio Estrella, Megan Lowe, and Roel Seeber.
Becca Dean presents TRANSMARSH: a sculptural meditation on trans resilience amid ecological collapse. Featuring sound design by Lawrence Tome and costume design by House of Perception.
In Melecio Estrella’s DISPOSED, we are thinking of landfills in the body and in relationships, the body as a site of emotional accumulation and deferred waste disposal. Plastics as a geological layer that will be found millennia from now.
COLLIDING TOPOGRAPHIES, by Roel Seeber and Megan Lowe, is a playful, dynamic work referencing human relationships, the impact they have on us, and the way we navigate them.

The Cadillac Hotel (above the Tenderloin Museum)
398 Eddy Street, San Francisco
In the pre-Roe v. Wade era, activists in Chicago, calling themselves ‘Jane,’ built an underground network for women with unwanted pregnancies and provided illegal abortions to an estimated 11,000 women. Flyaway Productions’ new site work, ODE TO JANE, appreciates this history of resistance and brings a contemporary lens to what resistance looks like in the San Francisco Bay Area’s Tenderloin, right now. We will incorporate oral histories, suspended rocking chairs, and aerial dance on fire escapes and walls. We will evoke an expanded idea of what resistance is amidst racial reckoning, the addiction crisis, the city’s housing catastrophe, threats to women’s bodies, and the complex intersection of these realities.
Dance Performance by: Laura Elaine Ellis, Sonsherée Giles, MaryStarr Hope, Jhia Jackson, Megan Lowe, Ai Yin Adelski, and Saharla Vetsch

A duet excerpt from Just a Shadow, with Megan Lowe and Shira Yaziv, shared at miniWCCI performance night.
A Note from Shira: When we started our rehearsals, we had plenty of wild ideas we wanted to explore. As we continued, we found that what truly fascinates us is sharing the unfiltered, spontaneous moments of the present. This is who we are, right here, right now. Using masks enhances our listening and deepens our trust, encouraging risk-taking without knowing the outcome. Despite what we have lost or may lose in the future, how do we continue to move? We are finding joy in "failing," and we are embracing giggles as a potent medicine.

Just a Shadow
May 31st - June 9th, 2024
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at 7:30pm
The Joe Goode Annex
401 Alabama Street San Francisco, CA 94110
Just a Shadow, by Megan Lowe Dances, is a performance journey in service to artists who have lost loved ones prematurely. With a title inspired by a poem Artistic Director Megan Lowe’s mother wrote shortly before she died, the project stems from Megan’s desire to process the loss of her mother and sister through art, and co-create a space of mutual support with collaborators who are also dealing with recent loss. Just a Shadow brings together 7 powerful artists—AJ Gardner, Sonsherée Giles, Josh Icban, Megan Lowe, Frances Teves Sedayao, Roel Seeber, and Shira Yaziv—to make 6 distinct duets that highlight the unique strengths and creative modalities of each collaborator, including contemporary dance, site-specific dance, vertical dance, turf dance, contact improvisation, and live music.
This project aspires to nourish the soul, support healing, acknowledge resilience, celebrate life, and honor the memories of loved ones. It welcomes diverse perspectives, cultures, and backgrounds, recognizing that the narratives surrounding death and processing grief are multifaceted and deeply personal. Through dance performance, MLD aims to provide a platform for catharsis, empathy, and collective understanding, fostering connections that transcend individual stories and unite us in a shared journey toward solace and healing.

This show is a futuristic portrayal of the near-extinction of turfing, presented in the style of a documentary: In the year 2032, turfers find their world overrun by AI dancers, which have grown massive after many years of feeding on global social media dance trends. In their final battle to preserve the roots of their culture and artform, the last turfers on earth attempt to teach an AI named “Dance-GPT” all about what turfing means.
Megan is honored to have been assisting this dance company with partnering/weight-sharing, release technique, as well as stage directing.

Identity is always complicated — and for multiracial folks who straddle many identities, it can be isolating. It can also be invigorating and rich to belong to multiple communities and celebrate that complexity.
The hosts of KQED’s series MIXED! bring that celebration of the wide-ranging experiences of mixed Californians to the stage for a fusion of live conversation and documentary with W. Kamau Bell and Melissa Hudson Bell, live multimedia storytelling by Cheyenne Bearfoot, food by Chef Nelson German of Sobre Mesa, a performance from Megan Lowe Dances, and more.

“If I Give You My Sorrows starts with a bed as a metaphor for what women experience in private,” said Jo Kreiter. “In this historic moment repressing women’s choice and women’s bodies at the national level, we want to reframe women’s beds as a place where our complexity and depth live – where our bodies rest, transform, grieve and repair. In what ways can a bed be an antidote? What secrets do we leave in our beds? What wounds do we bury there? How do our beds hold what is messy, tragic, grueling?”
The project features original music composed by Carla Kihlstedt, Kalyn Harewood, and Pamela Z, and performance by Laura Elaine Ellis, Sonsherée Giles, MaryStarr Hope, Jhia Jackson, Megan Lowe, Natalya Shoaf, and Razelle Swimmer.
