The 10 Women Campaign is a biennial celebration of women whose work in law, politics, activism, business, philanthropy and the arts mirrors Flyaway's mission:
- the integration of experimental forms with social and political content,
- the empowerment of women where women's voices remain an underserved element of public culture as a whole; and
- risk-taking as a way to expand women's social, political and cultural identity.
The 10 Women Campaign builds a bridge between women in the arts and civic life. It is an evening of performances by Flyaway Productions and various guest artists and intimate, personal acceptance speeches by each of the awardees. Those who attend gain tremendous insight into the motivation and issues important to each woman that we honor. We also host a pre-event reception where guests are invited to meet and talk with the awardees face to face. The awards are presented by 10 leading women in the San Francisco dance/performance community. Through this aspect of the 10 Women Campaign, we are encouraging dance as a vehicle for community gathering. We also hope to bring visibility to female leadership inherent to (but often overlooked in) the Bay Area's contemporary dance community.
