SF/Arts Curator Insight
The San Francisco holiday dance scene would not be complete without another beautiful tradition – ODC/Dance in “The Velveteen Rabbit,” inspired by Margery Williams’ tale of a boy and the toy he loved so dearly. Choreographed and directed by KT Nelson, this year’s production celebrates two milestones. First, being back at YBCA for four in-person performances (the show will also be on demand for the entire month of December), and its 35th year!

ODC/Dance was one of the first U.S. companies to incorporate a post-modern sensibility into a virtuosic contemporary dance technique and to commit major resources to interdisciplinary collaboration and musical commissions for the repertory.
