Have you ever thought about who in our society gets to dance? These photos capture dancers ranging in age from 20 to 89 years old coming together to shatter stereotypes about aging and encourage communities to move! Pictured here are Dance Generators company members during their recent performance at ODC Theater in San Francisco. This piece explored ideas of family paradigm, inheritance, and co-generational social healing.
Dance Generators is the University of San Francisco’s intergenerational dance company directed by EngAGE’s Intergenerational Programs Director, Liv Schaffer. Dance Generators company members have been offering creative movement workshops at several Northern California EngAGE sites this year and have been using inspiration from their time spent in our communities to inform the development of this performance piece.
