Centered around the theme of transition, this mixed program highlights their varied stories, each piece probing what it means to be at the crossroads of transformation. The evening will offer six distinct and unique journeys from the artists, each exploring the liminality. The program is anchored by Two Doors, a choreographic study of the aftermath of anti-Asian violence, first mounted in 2024 at the Mondavi Center in Davis. Two Doors ushers us on a journey towards relational vulnerability, opening a portal into an array of explorations on liminality and resilience.

Please note: Performances of Portals are Friday, April 25 at 8:00pm and Sunday, April 27 at 7:00pm. The Saturday, April 26 at 8:00pm performance WILL FEATURE ONLY TWO DOORS, PLUS A PANEL ON ASIAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY MOBILIZATION with the UC Berkeley Asian American Research Center.
