Bay Area leader in site-specific storytelling design for performance and methodology between art and communities. Epifano’s contribution to the field and to San Francisco’s artistic sphere has been widely recognized. A daughter of Italian immigrants, Epifano was raised on the vibrancy and richness of her Italian heritage and a strong work ethic. Epifano trail blazed her own path, learning about many cultures, sharing her own, and collaborating with communities.
”Enter Kim Epifano, who for more than 20 years has been making work in this city that’s grounded us in a social center while stretching towards San Francisco's physical limits. She has managed to make defined communities the successful end rather than the procedural means of her aesthetic vision. Her work models a vision for community development and documentary at the intersection of deft, provocative artistic expression.
Marc Bamuthi JosephKennedy Center
”Epifano is a long time city performance investigator, ground breaker, flyer in the air, roller on the ground, singer of songs. Epifano has a gift for seduction-a way of fusing unlikely combinations of music, movement and imagery into a lovely and often vivid organic whole.
San Diego Union Tribune
Artistic Mission
Kim Epifano creates thought-provoking, accessible dance performances and educational programs, building understanding across cultures and ages. On the stage and in the street, she illuminates the ordinary and the extraordinary, inspiring social change using art as a vessel.
Artistic Focus
Kim’s passion is on small to large-scale multi-disciplinary collaborations and performances. Cross-cultural collaboration has been an important factor in many of the 25 major works that Kim has created over the years. Kim’s work has been seen all over the world, including a featured performance at a U.S. State Department-supported tour to Tunisia, North Africa during an international dance festival hosted by Mad’Art Carthage. Other cross-cultural works include Speaking Chinese, which brought together a team of internationally-renowned Chinese and American artists, developed in Shanghai, Beijing, and San Francisco, and premiered in the San Francisco International Arts Festival at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts; and Fears of Your Life, a two-year collaboration with the developmentally disabled artists at Creativity Explored, author Michael Bernard Loggins, the physically integrated AXIS Dance Company, and multi-media sculptor Michael Stasiuk.
Kim’s Bio
Kim Epifano is a performer, choreographer, director, curator, producer, educator and community arts organizer who works on stages, site-specifically and in public spaces. At University of Utah, Anne Riordan introduced her to work with dancers with developmental and physical disabilities as a way of communicating and healing, and in 1979 Kim performed across Guatemala with the Peace Corps. These two experiences bridged the gap between performance, education and community.
In 1980s, Kim began creating and performing with Corpo Santo in San Francisco, winning 1st place in the 1983 Women’s International Capoeira Competition in Brazil. She continued her performance career with Dance Brigade and with Contraband. During her tenure with Contraband, it won two Isadora Duncan Awards for Best Company Performances. In 1993 Kim co-founded the cross-cultural, artistic exchange youth program Mudd Butt International, teaching and directing in villages in Morocco, Galapagos, Indonesia, New Zealand, India, Vietnam and Ethiopia.
Over her 30+ years of arts exploration, she has received many residencies and awards including a Bogliasco Fellowship residency in Genoa, Italy; being selected as a CHIME mentor to work with indigenous, Deaf dance artist and director Antoine Hunter; and received a Gerbode Choreographer Commissioning Award for the Last Blue Couch in the Sky, which was presented by Yerba Buena Center for the Arts and nominated for an Isadora Duncan Award in Choreography.
From 1997 – 2024, Kim was the artistic executive director for Epiphany Dance Theater. For 20 years, EDT partnered with MUNI to create San Francisco Trolley Dances, a free annual site-specific event connecting city neighborhoods.
