When
Dreams Are Interrupted invites us to witness the profound imprint of
the forced removal and mass evacuation of Japanese communities in
1942. The work-in-progress weaves personal stories, dance, visual art
and live music. Collaborators are choreographer Jill Togawa, visual
artist Ellen Bepp, musicians Claudia Cuentas and Laura Inserra and
dancers Michelle Fletcher, Ruth Ichinaga, Arisika Razak and Sharon
Sato. (more info available on our website

Following
the performance is “Re-imagining Pieces of Japantowns: A Community
Talk” considering the intersection of art, community history and
memory, and a reception.
Suggested $15 sliding scale (no one turned away for lack of funds)
reserved seating.
