Announcing the world premiere of "The Joy Protocol" with live music composed by Richard Howell presented by the Bayview Opera House Ruth Williams Memorial Theater from June 16th - 18th, 2022. Premiering at the Bayview Opera House Ruth Williams Memorial Theater and conceived during a time where local, national, and global mandates around COVID-19, travel and gathering were dictating the human experience and polarizing communities, The Joy Protocol, inspired by a new album from Richard Howell of the same name, seeks to mandate Joy. Dawson states, "We all reach for joy, it sustains us and gives way to light. We embrace it as though it was the fragrance of a flower. It stimulates the memory senses that brings warmth to the spirit, happiness to our hearts. It brings meaning to our very existence.", a much-needed change from the rigid and restrictive protocols of existence we now find ourselves slowly moving away from as restrictions have begun lifting. Through the debut of this multidisciplinary collaboration featuring new music and choreography from Howell and Dawson respectively, the duo urges the audience to make the seeking out and experiencing of Joy the new "protocol" and offering imaginings of how that journey and experience might manifest. June 16th @ 8:00pm June 17th @ 8:00pm June 18th @ 8:00pm Link for more information and tickets in bio!

Artist wisdom: “Working with Gregory has pushed me in ways I didn’t know possible. His movement challenges me to step outside of my habits and discover all I have to give. He asks you to pay homage to the movement all while letting your spirit be free.” ~David Calhoun @nationalpointe ••• Music: Richard Howell Photo by Devi Pride ••• MANGAKU performances Aug 24 and 25 at YBCA With live music by Richard Howell Ticket link in bio ••• #dawsondancesf #richardhowell #gregorydawson #sfdancers #sfdance #sfjazz #sflivemusic #yerbabuenacenterforthearts #ybca #contemporaryballet #worldwideballet #ballet #rehearsal #sfart #sfevents #bayareadance #bayareaevents #bayarea #sf #sfart #inspiration #artistsoninstagram #artistsatwork
