Premiere of Island

On Oct 9-11 at the Dance Place, 3225 8th Street, NE, I am premiering a new work entitled Island. I hope you will attend. It is the outcome of my research on historic Angel Island, the immigration outpost on the West Coast, built to uphold the Chinese Exclusionary Acts of the late 1800's, early 1900's. It was a site of many dreams to become an American, but ultimately a site of great sadness and exclusion. The work is sublime, subtle and emotionally moving. I have been collaborating with the Theatrical Design team of MIT on the multi-media component. I look forward to speaking with all of you about the connection between scholarly research and the creative process. For tickets call 202 269 1600, see you at the show!
All the best,
Dana
