Citydance 1977 traversed the city of San Francisco. You can see the journey it took in the map below.
The day was bookended with a recitation of Gary Snyder’s poem
Prayer for the Great Family. The poem was performed by the poet Kush first thing in the morning as the sun rose, and again in the late afternoon as the day’s festivities drew to a close.
Snyder’s
Turtle Island, which
Prayer for the Great Family comes from, was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1975.
