Flyaway Productions premieres "The Ballad of Polly Ann"
Flyaway Productions premieres "The Ballad of Polly Ann" at SOMArts, a building that was originally built as an ironworks. The project celebrates the women who contributed to the design and construction of Bay Area bridges. We are interested in their experience with physical work, tools, heights, machinery as well as their cultural experience working in a male dominated labor force, and how that affects their sense of self, femininity, family, and self worth.
Polly Ann runs July 14-25,2009. All performances are at 8 PM.

Flyaway Productions performs at the intersection of social justice and acrobatic spectacle. We have danced on a three-story fire escape, an oversized scale of justice, a circling merry-go-round, a chandelier on fire and a live billboard. We have also made dances for rooftops, an active construction site and the last remaining hand-operated crane on San Francisco's waterfront.
