On Friday, September 12 at 8:15 PM, the streets outside the Bountiful Davis Art Center will come alive with movement, music, and magic. We’re thrilled to present SB Dance’s Curbside Theater, a free outdoor performance designed to surprise, delight, and bring professional dance and theater directly into our community.






What is Curbside Theater?

Curbside Theater is an award-winning project by SB Dance, founded by choreographer and director Stephen Brown. It’s part pop-up dance theater, part concert, part circus spectacle—all staged outdoors in public spaces. Instead of asking audiences to come to a stage, Curbside Theater brings the stage to you, transforming streets and plazas into arenas for creative wonder.


This unique format blends contemporary dance, live music, theatrical storytelling, and light into a one-of-a-kind performance. Each show features a pre-concert, followed by two original one-act works: Box of Dolls and When Love Calls. The result is both playful and profound—a celebration of art that feels fresh, immediate, and accessible.


Art Without Walls

At BDAC, we believe that art should be for everyone. Hosting Curbside Theater in downtown Bountiful reflects our commitment to civic wellness, generational access, and artistic excellence—pillars of our 2025–2027 Strategic Plan. Free, public performances like this one make world-class art accessible to audiences of all ages and backgrounds, fostering connection and joy in the heart of our community.



This is also why SB Dance is such a natural partner for BDAC. Known for nearly three decades as one of Utah’s most inventive and edgy creative forces, SB Dance pushes boundaries and reimagines performance while never losing sight of the audience. Their Curbside Theater is edgy, surprising, and bold—but also deeply welcoming, designed to invite anyone and everyone into the experience of live art. BDAC and SB Dance share the conviction that art should be both excellent and inclusive—something that challenges us while also belonging to us all.

Curbside Theater is more than a show; it’s a celebration of art’s power to connect us, challenge us, and reimagine the places we call home. BDAC is proud to bring this bold performance to Bountiful, continuing our work to ensure that extraordinary art is free and open to all.
