Epiphany Dance Theater’s repertoire blends dance, music, theater and spoken word in a multi-textured experience of community, culture and place. Its body of work reflects the artistic director’s exposure to different perspectives on community art-making and diverse cultural norms from her experiences around the world from Latin America, South East Asia, Europe and Africa. Kim Epifano’s work is known for its bold and imaginative outdoor explorations that resonate with all ages and backgrounds, newcomers to dance-veterans. Epiphany is equally celebrated for its development and curation of new choreographers, dancers and ongoing contribution to the vibrancy of the Bay Area dance community.
