Dance Generators is an intergenerational dance company housed at the University of San Francisco that fosters artistic collaboration between University students and Bay Area older adults. Ranging in age from teens through their nineties, Dance Generators uses dance as a tool for bridging generational divides and catalyzing social change. Participants use creative and somatic processing tools for personal reflection and community dialogue that webs connections across cultural, generational, racial, religious, and gender identities. Through classes, performances, lectures, social gatherings, and tailored events on and off USF campus, Dance Generators positions dance as a necessary strategy for pluralist world building.
