Meet Yvette Mari Robles, former director of BMagic and 10 Women Campaign honoree

From the Bay View,

The 10 Women Campaign 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. The 10 Women are nominated each year by the awardees from the previous year.

The 10 Women Campaign, to be held this year on Thursday, Nov. 17, 7:30 p.m. – come at 6:30 for the reception – at ODC Theater, 3153 17th St., San Francisco, 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.
