World’s First Dancing Advice Column Previewing in San Diego Saturday July 19 at 3 p.m. - 4 p.m. City Heights Performance Annex Bound for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2025! "Best Worst Advice" is a bold, hilarious and deeply human experimental dance-theatre show created by rebellious women choreographers Anne Gehman, Emily Aust, and Erin Tracy who met and started making work together over a decade ago. Now in their 40s they’ve reunited, blending decades of performance experience, life lessons, and embodied wisdom into a show that literally moves with meaning. The Operators are the world’s first dancing advice-columnists who are radically celebrating bodily autonomy while offering antidotes to overwhelm, and the endless scroll of questionable internet wisdom. It’s intimate, absurd, and fiercely relatable. Tired? Yes. Retired? Not even close. "Best Worst Advice" runs approximately 50 minutes and is appropriate for audience members who are 16 and over. Warning: shows may contain strong language/swearing, nudity, and challenging or triggering themes. Audience participation is strongly encouraged. Bring your juicy questions and join The Operators as they relocate, protest, undermine, and go on the offensive, dancing the "Best Worst Advice" they can give!
