Bay Area Dance Week 2019 Guide

The Della Davidson Prize

Sarah Bush

Sarah Bush creates her inimitable style of movement by combining her training in ballet, modern, hip hop, jazz, Afro-Caribbean, and contact improvisation. In 2007 she formed her company, Sarah Bush Dance Project to pro- mote innovative artistry, community interac- tion, and feminist ideals through the creation and presentation of multimedia dance. To date, SBDP has presented four critically acclaimed repertory shows in the Bay Area: Home, Rocked By Women, This Land and Spirit and Bones . The Huffington Post said of the outdoor

landscape series, This Land, “the drama of Bush’s highly charged movement is meant to renew our sense of

self, our sense of place and community.” Sarah continues to deepen her exploration of the intersection of dance and theater and is currently serving on the Isadora Duncan Dance Awards Committee and regularly teaches classes throughout the Bay Area. sarahbushdance.org
