In 2016-17, Liss Fain Dances activities were focused during the first half of the year on community outreach. The company expanded their community outreach programs to include two intensive workshop series during the fall and early winterwith seniors at a mixed income residential senior facility, The Redwoods, and with middle school students at 826 Valencia, a San Francisco organization that supports literacy and arts in young people. These weekly workshops on storytelling, writing and creating movement culminated in performances at the facilities by the workshop participants. The 826 Valencia intensive series was in addition to the continuing workshops for elementary school students the company teaches there. The expanded outreach workshops grew out of a desire to connect more with the community at large. The company is unpaid for their time, with partial support from the Kellogg Foundation and individual fundraising.Liss Fain Dance premiered an evening-length installation work at their home season in May 2017 at Z Space, San Francisco, supported in part by grants from the Zellerbach Family Foundation and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. The seniors and young students from the intensive workshops attended, and experienced how the company integrates storytelling and text into highly physical choreography. Following these performances, the company taught an intensive workshop for pre-professional and professional dancers at the San Francisco Conservatory of Dance. 99726 99726 Elizabeth Fain President 40.00 0 Ed Payne Chairman 1.00 0 Rob Semper Treasurer 1.00 0 Lynn Rankin Secretary 1.00 0 Rudi Dundas Director 1.00 0 Julie Reinganum Director 1.00 0 X false false false false false false false false 0 0 false false CA Elizabeth Fain 26 Seventh Street 5th Floor San Francisco CA 94103 4153809559 false false false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 174156 127340 153075 250750 116400 821721 0 0 174156 127340 153075 250750 116400 821721 702566 119155 0 0 0 821721 0.14500 0.12240 X Prior Year Facts and Circumstances: As a result of a large contribution from substantial contributors, taxpayer's public support percentage for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 as calculated under IRC 509(a)(1) 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) is 14.5%.
