<div> <h3 class="uiHeaderTitle">Instinctive, ferocious, die hard dance.</h3> </div> <div class="mhl"> <div class="mvm uiP fsm"><strong><span class="fwb">Mission</span></strong></div> Bianca Cabrera’s Blind Tiger Society brings a hedonistic palette to Bay Area dance, with the promise of pleasure, engagement, art, spectacle and delight. The Blind Tiger Society spearheads a new trajectory for contemporary dance through rebellious performance staged as social territory. Audiences are enlisted as ambassadors of imaginative indulgence, feasters of the felicities of life.</div> <div class="mhl"> <div class="mvm uiP fsm"><span class="fwb"><br /></span></div> <div class="mvm uiP fsm"><strong><span class="fwb">Company Overview</span></strong></div> Blind Tiger Society recruits makers of dance, music, sculpture, fashion, theater and fun. We are a tight force of collaborators working towards a dynamic shift in the field of contemporary dance. <br /> <br /> Working mainly out of West Oakland, our rituals, rehearsals and festivities go beyond the typical dance rehearsal process and move to make a more intimate and permeable relationship between art and daily life.</div> <div class="mvm uiP fsm"><span class="fwb">Description</span></div> <p><strong>Why Blind Tiger Society?</strong> <br /> A nod to the days where pleasure was something to speak easy about, Blind Tiger Society takes it’s name from illegal dive bars that frequented the US during prohibition. A Blind Tiger was the name given to the neighborhood basements that would advertise themselves as shows of natural oddities and curiosities-<br /> <br /> “Come see the Blind Tiger, 25 cents!!” <br /><span class="text_exposed_show"> <br /> Admission put a sly drink your hand as you peruse the spectacle. In contrast to the more elegant and upscale Speakeasy, the Blind Tiger was homemade, rebellious, do it yourself entertainment.<br /> <br /> Blind Tiger Society is just that. We rebel against the grain of traditionally staged contemporary dance, justifying the willful suspension of theatrical edifice and the deliverance of flesh, blood and authenticity. Whatever world you desire, Blind Tiger Society will take you there.<br /> <br /> We make everything from scratch. By hand, foot, heart, soul, mouth and mind. We cultivate it for each other, strangers, neighbors, friends, those with inhibition and those without. We deliver fast, hard and heavy and we will see you under the table. <br /> </span></p>
