SUPPORT the MASONIC CENTER!
Keep Live Music in San Francisco
Act Now
Fresh from our victory before the Board of Appeals earlier this month,
our efforts to save The Masonic Center next go before the Planning
Commission on February 18. The Commissioners need to hear from you
and your friends to demonstrate the community's wide support for
upgrading The Masonic Center to keep it open as a facility for music,
comedy, graduation ceremonies, community and other events.
Despite continuous operation for over five decades, opponents are
claiming The Masonic was never intended to be used as anything but a
private clubhouse and want to stop all public events at the building.
Now is the time to voice your support to the Planning Commissioners to
upgrade the venue and prevent the closure of The Masonic Center!
Let's keep live music in San Francisco.
Please lend your support to help make the Masonic one of the premiere
arts and entertainment venues in San Francisco by emailing the
Planning Commission. And clear your calendars; the Planning
Commission will meet to vote on these important upgrades for the
Center on February 18 at 1:30pm in City Hall Room 400. Your presence
at the hearing is important.
Make Your Voice Heard
The Planning Commissioners need to hear from you. Email the
Commissioners at linda.avery@sfgov.org and let them know you want the
Masonic Center to remain open as an entertainment venue.

AscenDance Projest presents first Home Season 'Beyond Gravity'
AscenDance Project presents their first home season at the Ashby Stage, 1901 Ashby Avenue in Berkeley this spring in a series of performances beginning on March 5, 2010. Andy Schmeder, Lara Mercurio, Elena Cochran, Martha Hazel, Susan Owen, Ryan Gaunt and Isabel von Rittberg will be performing Beyond Gravity March 5, 6, 12 & 13 at 8 PM and March 14 at 3 PM. General Admission: $25 ($20 Sunday only), Students and Seniors: $20, Kids under 12: $10. For information contact: info@ascendanceproject.com
AscenDance Project was founded in January 2006 by German-born performance artist and mountaineer, Isabel von Rittberg. Her work explores the aesthetics of rock climbing with dancers performing on a vertical stage. Performing entirely without the use of ropes, their work exhibits strength and grace enhanced by the effects of gravity on the dancers and their ability to overcome it. Using a 24 ft long and 12 ft high climbing wall, AscenDance artists move through three dimensions, using time and space as inconsistent and unpredictable variables.
Von Rittberg’s aspiration is to create a sense of detachment and lightness, to offer a completely new stage perspective and to appeal to a collective appreciation of rhythm and movement.
Following their well-received world premier of Levitate at the San Francisco International Arts Festival 2008 on Union Square, AscenDance Project was invited to perform at the 2009 International Aerial Dance Festival in Boulder, Colorado. After two weeks of teaching dance-climb fusion to students from all over the country, their participation ended with two sold-out performances. Having created a local following through fundraisers and classes, choreographer von Rittberg is ready to contribute to the community which she is proud to be a part of.

WHAT: AscenDance Project presents Beyond Gravity, their first home season. Using time and space as inconsistent and unpredictable variables, the show is a choreographed exploration of the aesthetics of rock climbing, with dancers performing on a vertical stage.
