A free, public, site-specific live performance, Portal transformed the elevated garden of Salesforce Park into a multimedia ecosystem animated by evocative movement and physical storytelling.

Envisioned by Katerina Wong with mixed media artist Ephraim Colbert, Portal investigated the intersections of skyscrapers and gardens, migration and stagnation, and belonging and isolation after an unprecedented year of collective challenge. The park’s landscape came to life through dynamic contemporary dance, text, lighting installation, video, and a layered soundscore to generate a dreamlike sensorial experience. Portal was presented by RAWdance, in partnership with TJPA’s Salesforce Park. Supported by the San Francisco Arts Council Individual Artist Grant.
