If there is any style of dance that the Bay can call its own, its turfing. Whether seen on a BART train or an E-40 video, the physics defying physical storytelling of turfing can turn any place into a stage. But it was one performance from the group Turffeinz captured in the rain in 2009 that saw turfing thrust onto an international stage, changing the trajectories of both the dancers in front of the camera, including Gary “Icecold” Morgan, and the person behind the camera, Yoram Savion, cofounder of SFDFF-embodiment award winning production company YAK films.
On this first episode of a two part conversation with Gary and Yoram, we discussed how their creative paths led to their collaboration and how one’s life changes when the world is your audience.
