My Barbarian
The Stage Presence performance series continues to be some of the best public programming I've seen at SFMOMA with each week bringing new live art and new surprises. Last Saturday LA trio My Barbarian hosted a classical dance party in the fourth floor gallery that involved some snippets of their longer piece Broke People's Baroque Peoples' Theater as well as heavy audience participation in the form of games and even some costume dress-up. At one point I found myself embodying Medusa and then later rocking a striped toga that earned me the moniker "The Tigress." There are still three more weekends left in the series with some serious local talent on the performance agenda, namely D-L Alvarez and Kevin Killian, Richard T. Walker, and Rashaad Newsome. There will be poetry, there will be music, there will be drag. Do not miss out.
