About This Event
Gather to help finish Ray Nakazawa’s Bridge Dance Festival costume made of medicine pill packaging! This workshop is the time-space where you reflect on your journey of healing of your own or your loved ones either with/without actually talking about it, but physically being together through making of the garment.
Bring yourselves and your own empty pill packages if you’d like to add them as a part of Ray’s solo costume/set. The garment will be worn during Ray’s solo during Bridge Dance Festival performances this weekend.
After the workshop, please join Ray and the ensemble at Bridge Dance Festival’s performances this weekend:
About Bridge Dance Festival
The Bridge Dance Festival began in 2018 as the culmination of four years of Japanese-focused programming at Links Hall, including the National Performance Network Asian Exchange, Beyond the Box, and Links to Japan.
In 2019, producers Links Hall and Asian Improv aRts Midwest with curator Yoshinojo Fujima (aka Rika Lin) worked together to maintain the mission of international cultural exchange and connection in the face of rising US nationalism and its aggressive political reality. The importance of global connections is inspired and supported by mutual respect for both cultural similarities and differences.
Now in its sixth year, Bridge Dance continues to establish its role facilitating AAPI Dancers from Chicago will present their own new experimental pieces, exploring the expression of 'self'.
Featured Artists:
Chih-hsien Lin
Ray Nakazawa
