IDIA is intended to be a day long community event showcasing performances, panel discussions, and expert talks. The mission of IDIA is to bring to the San Francisco Bay Area highly talented artists and motivating speakers from around the world, and have an immersive, interactive, and educational experience for art lovers and students of dance.
We were thrilled to present several stellar performances in the virtual format in August 2021. This year the festival will embrace a hybrid format. We will present performances spanning 3 days including 6 events, with 2 world renowned artists, 1 Dance Theatre, 5 advanced performers, and 5 budding artists.
