Dance Class

Normally, every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon I go to Dance and Drama class for people with developmental disabilities over at the Janet Pomeroy Center. It's called Theatre Unlimited. I look forward to class all week long, and can't stop jumping out of my seat when I'm there. Sadly it doesn't happen over the summer, so I decided to post about it instead. It's taught by David Lovett, and he's the best. So are the other students in the class. David started it up in the 70's, and every semester there's a show at the end. In class we do warm up stretches, contact improv to music on stage, and other exercises. At the end of each semester there's a final performance. You can check out the website for more about it. Below is an excerpt from the website:

Drama and dance classes are offered to participants of all ages. Some classes are open to the community as part of City College of San Francisco's Disabled Students Program. Volunteers, local and international interns, and guest artists join Theatre Unlimited classes, bringing their love for the arts, their performance expertise, and their technical talents to our program.

On Tuesday and Thursday nights, Theatre Unlimited focuses on production and has been an established repertory company since 1977. Members explore the creative process and prepare for upcoming performances by drawing from each individual's talents, experience, and personal input. The company weaves together elements of real life and artistry to create thought-provoking original plays, performance pieces, and dance works.

Theatre Unlimited rehearses and performs on the stage of the Janet Pomeroy Center Main Hall overlooking picturesque Lake Merced. The Company also performs at a wide variety of venues in the greater Bay Area and beyond, including local theater spaces, schools, museums, corporate parties, and professional conferences.

Theatre Unlimited strives to educate and integrate both recreational and serious artists in our unique process. We wish to expand our audiences, to share a love for the arts, and to inspire the creative ability within everyone.
