SUMMARY:Theatre of Yugen at NOHspace: Sha Sha Higby Dance in Sculptural Costume - Sha Sha Higby with Keith Evans “Feathered Fox”
DESCRIPTION:Sha Sha Higby with Keith Evans “Feathered Fox”\nUsing mobiles\, puppets\, micropuppetry\, and magic spears\, Sha Sha Higby’s metaphoric multi-layered masks and costume dance through the symbolic plight of our sky’s forests\, and our own demise. Projection collaborator Keith Evans with his fascination devices will transform Sha Sha’s handmade artifacts with moving light. A battle of demons of fire in the forests is extinguished by the force of the oceans. A hole then opens in the sky and it begins to blow. Fish fly up catching the remains of dying souls. The fox appears and picks the souls as a bouquet and flies them home to safety.

SUMMARY:Theatre of Yugen at NOHspace: Us in the U.S. - We Was Here First (Work-in-Progress)
DESCRIPTION:We Was Here First\nWe Were Here First is a thought-provoking theatrical experience that challenges historical misconceptions about race\, identity\, and heritage in America. The work is the latest manifestation of a project that Kristian Stovall presented at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts titled\, The American Heiress: Revelations. The work delved into her journey of discovering that her colored ancestors were not all from Africa but were aboriginal to America. This exploration of identity\, history\, and cultural reclamation is also the foundation of Stovall’s work as the founder of The Foundation for American Indian Restoration and Education (FAIRE)\, an organization dedicated to uncovering and sharing the true heritage of Original Americans. \nUs in the U.S.\nSince 2016 US has helped the U.S.A. with the Browning of America by showcasing testimonial presentations by marginal groups and workshops to facilitate an understanding of applied theatre skills. US has produced two shows with SFIAF and is honored to be co-producing with the FAIRE Foundation this year.

SUMMARY:Theatre of Yugen at NOHspace: Wachowicz / Fret Studio  Poland - Granica / The Border (2024\, U.S. Premiere)
DESCRIPTION:Granica / The Border\nThe Border oscillates between the acts of performance\, ritual and ceremony; simultaneously a “rite of passage” or a moment of “receiving and giving.” The Border attempts to create a new field\, where time is only a moving image of eternity. \nThe Border takes as its focus the true story of transgendered Ukrainian performance artist\, Antonina Romanova – a member of the Polish theatre ensemble\, Teatr ZAR. Romanova was drafted into the Armed Forces of Ukrainian to fight against the invading Russian army in 2023. Initially the project was supposed to exist as a film documentary about Romanova’s tour of duty. But when the war extended from months to years and Ukrainian troops were not demobilized\, or even rotated from the front lines\, it became a different type of exploration. Acknowledged in Edinburgh with a Fringe First Award in 2024\, The Border was created from the need to raise awareness on behalf of those whose voices are in suspension.

SUMMARY:閩橋 Min Bridges: stories from the Malay World\, Taiwan\, and mainland China
DESCRIPTION:The Min Languages form the basis of Taiwanese\, Hokkien\, Teochew\, and Hainanese. For most of the 20th and 21st centuries\, Min languages have been looked down upon as dialects: students received corporal punishment for speaking their home languages at school throughout the Chinese speaking world\, from Singapore to California. In artistic and dance traditions\, Min peoples are often depicted as insular\, uneducated\, and uncouth. \nMin Bridges seeks to change that. We’ve developed a series of original choreographies and reworkings of Min songs and folk\, classical\, and contemporary dances from throughout the countries where Min peoples live\, which show the diversity of Min-speaking cultures wherever they may be\, but in an elevated and respectful fashion that shows Min people not as two-dimensional stereotypes\, but complex and modern societies\, with strong and deep traditions. \nThis show reminds us of our centuries long history of coexistence\, and how Min peoples have acted as a bridge between cultures\, enriching all of us whichever side of the sea or strait we may come from. By delving deeply and elevating Min stories and the internal diversity of Asian and Asian American communities\, we break the homogenization and dehumanization which is the prerequisite of violence\, and replace it with bridges of love. \nBay Area Independent Chinese Dancers (BAICD) is a collective of Chinese dancers\, choreographers\, and allied artists telling our own stories firmly rooted both in our experiences living in the Bay Area and our cultural traditions. We are a fiscally sponsored project of Shawl-Anderson Dance Center\, and are proud to present our first show with artistic collaborators Ishami Dance Company\, Jenni Hong and Elise Knudson\, Tiffany Lin Art\, Jimmy Wing\, and Swathi Narayaran
