Zaccho
Zaccho Studio is now home to Zaccho's Center for Dance and Aerial Arts and Zaccho Dance Theatre.
Zaccho's Center for Dance and Aerial Arts is now open to the public, offering classes specializing in technical training, composition, improvisation and performance. The Center for Dance and Aerial Arts has teamed up with the local dance and aerial communities to explore personal and collaborative art. Our classes stand behind Zaccho's philosophy of building a strong skill set infused with personal creativity, team support and a lot of fun!
Zaccho Dance Theatre creates and presents performance work that investigates dance as it relates to place. Artistic Director Joanna Haigood's creative work focuses on making dances that use natural, architectural and cultural environments as points of departure for movement exploration and narrative. Haigood's innovative work involves in-depth research into the history and the character of sites, often involving local communities in the creative process, and typically integrates aerial flight and suspension as ways of expanding performers' spatial and dynamic range. In addition, Zaccho provides performances in San Francisco, nationally and internationally as well as an arts education program for the local community.
