Hey y’all,
FACT/SF is back this week with another Tasty Tuesdays posting. We share who we’re inspired by…artists and thinkers who we think have made, or are making, significant contributions. This week it’s the choreographer, dancer, and, by some accounts, true founder of modern dance – which of course laid the foundation for contemporary dance – Vaslav Nijinsky. Sometimes our short-term memories prevent us from seeing the very, very long history of performance innovation – so as we continue to charge forward, it’s good to look back every once in a while.
