This past weekend, a few of our Performing Diaspora artists gave audiences a sneak peek on how their work's progressing. It was incredible to see how far they've come in these past few months, and we're excited to see the final performance! Check out videos of their performance on YouTube - CounterPULSE has a page

Wed. Sept. 2, 7:30pm, $7-10 (Members $3-5) This month's performance review includes Kenny Yun in "Lettucetown Lies." He's Gay. He's Asian. He's coming of age in Lettucetown. If that's not bad enough, he's got a crush on a hick. Adolescence! It's fun, it's lies. In Lettucetown; David Allen Moss; Bruce Pachtman in "Solo Show #2."

Hi friends! I spent last three months living in India, co-writing the new Nautanki performance script for the “Performing Diaspora” with my father-- the renowned Nautanki artist, Pundit Ram Dayal Sharma, I loved my time in India. It was so much fun, and a learning experience, working with my father on this script that focuses

The Ewe say " ... you must cry into the song." A man in the taxi said "... you are beautiful when you cry." ... But these things are not easy. To cry into the song when you are still so sad ... To let your beauty shine thru when you feel as though there

The very spontaneous nature of art rarely gives way to "schedules", ie. scribbling notes on a bathroom floor at 4am so as not to wake up the household, 2-hour rehearsals that turn into 10 hours, starting with violins and ending up with tambourines, constant breaking of commitments due to double-booking or financial constraints...and yet as

So I haven't been good with updating the blog regularly - I am the same way about my own personal blog - but when I do it is thorough! We have been traveling all summer and I have been very in my head about this work - working on skill building and movement material but

Ok so we aren't quite finished but we are nearly there. We had to use the white because in the entire Bay Area it is apparently the only color in which they make Fire Retardant paint. Patrick Simms and I slapped the first coat of black on before we left yesterday and I think they

"He, who is described as male, is as much the female and the penetrating eye does not fail to see it." - Rigveda It is 4.06 AM. My eyes tell me that I need to sleep but lying in bed is proving useless as thoughts race through my head. I was in Cambodia for ten

When you choreograph folk dance and work to transfer movement from its natural habitat to the stage the considerations are: : Is the representation accurate? Am I being true to the spirit of the dance? Have I accurately reflected the integrity and idiosyncracy of the music, dance and people of that area? As important as

I didn't get the memo. You know the one that breaks down the ways in which descendants of enslaved Africans have a different (but just as post traumatic stress disordered psychosis) than the descendants of colonized Africans. To be fair, I looked completely different when I've traveled abroad before (I had long hair), AND there
