BAVC is a community hub and resource for media makers in the Bay Area and across the country, serving over 7,500 freelancers, filmmakers, job-seekers, activists, and artists every year. BAVC provides access to media making technology, storytelling workshops, a diverse and engaged community of makers and producers, services and resources. BAVC advocates for those whose stories aren't being told, and provides the resources for anyone to create and share, and amplify their stories and those of their communities. BAVC's diverse, innovative programs lead the field in media training for youth and educators, technology and multimedia focused workforce development, visually-driven new media storytelling and audio-visual preservation. BAVC has been a trusted community educator, collaborator, incubator, community builder and resource for the media arts world since 1976. BAVC began when a group of media makers and activists met in January of 1976 to devise practical ways to encourage independent video-making in the Bay Area. With a small grant from the Rockefeller Foundation to conduct a needs assessment and feasibility study of the region’s media-making community, that small group spent the summer collecting information about what the region’s environment looked like for independent videomakers. Among that study’s conclusions was a recommendation for “a regional video resource center with multi-faceted programs that concentrate on improving all aspects of video production and exhibition…” That video resource center came into existence when BAVC was incorporated on December 10, 1976. As new technologies have been introduced over the past four decades, BAVC has responded with dynamic programs and new training strategies, while remaining committed to our mission of serving independent media makers.

Design PLUS Technology? Yeah, turns out they aren't mutually exclusive. Without one, the other just isn't very effective. Great design is only great if it's functional. Technology is only useful if it can be understood. One feeds the other, therefore we embrace them both. The whole point of working with technology is to create something that feels human. Until it evolves into something that's neither design nor technology, but a natural extension of our lives. That's the thinking that built our business. We love the plus. Rocket Science aggressively handles the whole stack of services from Service/Support (my s@#t is broken!) to Engineering (Projects, Upgrades & Maintenance Programs) to IT Management (Budgets, Strategy & Planning) and Design (creating things that look and feel sexy). Rocket does all this with a unique culture of fun, interesting staff who treat each client as a special case -- we give white glove personalized service.
This is my personal page to describe this fantastic & affordable workout I found right here in the Mission. It is all-ages boxing class for beginners and intermediate men or women or teens 14 & up. This two-hour class that includes cardiovascular training, flexibility, high and low abdominal training, stretching and basic boxing moves: proper punching, movement, balance, & blocking. Included is everything you need to get a balanced workout. http://youtu.be/2Exek8TLKxI The class is instructed by health and fitness professionals from the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department, with a focus on proper form, health and safety. You will learn about boxing basics, agility, and technique. Don't worry about fighting or being hit; that will come later. I took this class to add variety to my marathon training, and I know it contributed to completing my first marathon at Lake Tahoe-at 6000 feet above sea level.

"When the music changes, so does the dance." -African Proverb We love variety, so we partner dance to many styles of music, exploring different styles of movement to go with it. To blues music we dance blues dances. To other music we branch out and explore AltDancing. We play a mixture of blues music and a wide range of other types of music that's fun to partner dance to. Our classes reflect our variety- many of them are blues dance classes, and others are on topics including Lyrical Partnered Dancing, Stealing movements from Tango, Partner Connection, and beyond. Check out the page for this week's topics. There are two 8:30 classes for you to choose from- a beginning or all-levels class, and an all-levels or int./advanced class. Haven't danced before? Please come check it out! No partners needed- during class we rotate. Please wear dance shoes, socks, or non-gripping shoes with clean soles. No stilettos, please- they grind into the venue floor. Sometimes it gets warm- if you tend to sweat a lot, consider bringing changes of shirt. Go light on the perfume, and remember the deodorant. All ages welcome.
