SOULSKIN DANCE Presents the San Francisco Premiere of
CLOSER: A Dance Film about Relationship in a Time of Isolation
Following their world premiere at the Aspen Fringe Festival Oct 1, 2021, SOULSKIN present’s the new Dance Film "CLOSER" created by SOULSKIN Dance Choreographer Adrianna Thompson during the Covid Pandemic. "CLOSER" reveals our need for human connection and the diversity and inclusion that is essential in a true democracy. Closer was created in collaboration with SOULSKIN Resident filmmaker Jaco Strydom over a period of 7 months. Also viewers will be treated to a sneak peak of a new dance in progress, The Awakening. The vibe for this ballet harks back to 70's and never ending party that was STUDIO 54. The dance floor became a platform for individual exploration and expression of all kinds. Disco music became a common thread for peoples of all races and classes to share. The Awakening is both Celebration and a Prayer… to sow the seeds of reconciliation and compassion in a time of division.

Phoenix Rising premied June 2021 at Aspen Fringe Festival
Phoenix Rising
Choreography: Adrianna Thompson
Performed: Katherine Bolanos, Seia Rassenti and Anthony Tiedeman
The phoenix was a huge mythological bird that cyclically was resurrected by arising from the ashes of its own fiery grave.To rise like a phoenix from the ashes means to emerge from a catastrophe stronger, with life reborn and transformed. Created for three best friends who found themselves furloughed from Aspen Santa Fe Ballet during the Covid-19 pandemic, this original work is dedicated to all performers who must now struggle to spread their wings again and breathe new life into their art.
CLOSER: A sneak peak of our new dance film
SOULSKIN Dance will present CLOSER. A look into the importance of being connected with others...to laugh, cry, and play. To ultimately rediscover the importance of intimacy. From performing arts to education, our future success and happiness hangs in the balance. This dance film is an attempt to heal wounds of what this unprecedented time has left us with. And to most importantly shed light on the essential need for human contact.
