I'm really excited that I will be performing this interdisciplinary work again with my group the Francis Wong Unit with dancer/choreographer Lenora Lee, bodybuillder/martial artist/spoken word artist A.K.BLACK with video projections by Olivia Ting. Featured in the band will be Karl Evangelista, guitar, Karen Stackpole, gongs and drums and John Carlos Perea, electric bass. The work is in homage both to the Third World Strike at UC Berkeley in 1969/70 and to my late brother Tom, who entered the college that year. We had a very successful premiere at Oakland Asian Cultural Center, which graciously commissioned and presented the work with the support of a grant from the East Bay Fund for Artists/East Bay Community Foundation last October 17, 2009. The shows will be at 8p on Friday April 23 and Saturday April 24. Stay tuned for more info! |
