Join us to celebrate and document the legacies of these 5 foundational Bay Area cultural dance legends.
We are exploring the themes of Legacy, Empowerment and Belonging leading up to our 50th Anniversary in 2028.
Weekend Two honors five legacy artists in the World Arts West global & cultural dance community: Deborah Vaughn (Dimensions Dance Theater), Mythili Kumar (Abhinaya Dance Company of San José), Naomi Diouf (Diamano Coura West African Dance Company) and Roy & PJ Hirabayashi (San Jose Taiko).
Each of them are representing 40+ years of dance and music traditions from Africa, India, and Japan.
These esteemed elders will join us at the Koret Auditorium inside the main branch of the San Francisco Public Library for an afternoon of discussion and memories moderated by World Arts West CEO, Dr. Anne Huang and Artistic Director of Los Lupenos de San José, Samuel Cortez.
