Burn the Whole Theater

Dancing is "in." We fully approve of the trend back towards actual talent in reality television. We feel said trend has led to a greater value being placed on said talent, in the culture at large. In turn, some producer somewhere (In this case, one Harley Medcalf) decided it would be a good idea to back a major touring dance show in the old-fashioned, razzle-dazzle, petroleum-jelly-on-the-teeth style. This not only plays to our love of plucky show people, but will thrill children as well. TV alum Jason Gilkison directs and choreographs, and dozens and dozens of people with actual talent grace his stage.

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
