Berkeley Dance Project 2023: Within These Walls

Thursday, February 23, 2023 8:00 PM - Sunday, February 26, 2023 3:30 PM (PST)

Description

Within These Walls is an award-winning multimedia work inspired by the experiences of the estimated 170,000 Chinese immigrants who were processed — and often unjustly detained or interrogated — at the U.S. Immigration Station on Angel Island between 1910 to 1940. Integrating contemporary dance, poetry, original music, and video projection, Within These Walls serves as a meditation on healing, resilience, and compassion. 

Lenora Lee Dance premiered Within These Walls in 2017 as a site-specific performance on Angel Island and received a Special Achievement Award for Outstanding Production from the Isadora Duncan Dance Awards Committee. The work is being re-staged at UC Berkeley with a cast of 14 students for Berkeley Dance Project, the annual dance concert presented by TDPS.
