Join Underland and Resident Larissa Archer for our first-ever salon, promising an evening of dance, music, and visual splendor.
In addition to San Francisco Bellydance Theater, this salon will also feature performances by Tribal Baroque and Kyra Moved to Be, plus live fashion sketching by Janice Chuang. Tribal Baroque (Lila'Angelique and SK Thoth) create original two person operas by combining their haunting voices, violin, foot percussion, theater and dance.
San Francisco Bellydance Theater was founded in 2017 by local arts writer, dancer, actress, and impresaria Larissa Archer, daughter of bellydance legend Masha Archer, director of the famed San Francisco Classic Dance Troupe. SFBT performs early American Tribal Style© bellydance inflected by principles of Stanislavskian theater, and is known for creating moments of vivid dramatic beauty, mystery, and exuberance. Archer curates salons showcasing artists of myriad genre both individually and in unusual collaborations she directs, resulting in hallucinatory visual and aural compositions, all within the festive context of a catered party in a gorgeous secret location. This is her, and SFBT's, maiden voyage into Underland.
