About this Event

The Group Aerial Performance at the Cowell Theater will include the premiere of choreographer Veronica Blair's The RAINBOW is Enuf, a reimaging of legendary playwright Ntozake Shange’s For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When the Rainbow is Enuf, expressed through the lens of modern circus. Also performing are Montreal-born and Bay Area trapeze artist Shannon Gray, international aerialist Pamela Donohoo, and Acrobatic Conundrum from Seattle.


Founded in 2014, Zaccho Dance Theatre’s biennial San Francisco Aerial Arts Festival features internationally recognized aerial artists and exciting newcomers breaking into the field.

Co-presented by the Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture in the beautiful Marina District, this festival is San Francisco’s premiere aerial arts event, bringing together spectacle, daring athleticism, aerial dance, and circus.

The 2022 festival will be a dynamic three-day performance event featuring an evening group performance at the Cowell Theater, a youth matinee performance, and the premiere of a new site-specific aerial performance by world renowned choreographer Robert Moses’ Kin at the Festival Pavilion. The evening group performance will also include the world premiere of choreographer Veronica Blair’s Rainbow is Enuf at the Cowell Theater.


The San Francisco Aerial Arts Festival is generously supported by San Francisco’s Grants for the Arts, San Francisco Arts Commission, National Endowment for the Arts, the Gerbode Foundation’s New Choreographer Award, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Terry Sendgraff Trust, and Zaccho's community of individual donors.
