SUMMARY:AADF2026 Mainstage Showcase
DESCRIPTION:We will once again close out the festival with our Mainstage Showcase. Last year\, audiences walked away with so many wonderful things to say. Sharing our stories of the AAPI experience proved moving and important work. AAPI audiences felt seen\, while others discovered how different and nuanced our experiences are. \nA curated evening of live dance\, invited dance makers will share personal works that touch on their experience of living multi-culturally. These AAPI choreographers represent different cultural backgrounds and create work in various dance disciplines. Each are inspirational and accomplished artists in their own right. Together they will present an evening of profound sharing and deep questioning. We hope audiences will come away with a richer understanding and appreciation of our AAPI communities and identities.

SUMMARY:Movement Mystics: Alchemy\, Resilience & Transformation
DESCRIPTION:This captivating dance performance celebrates the richness of Brazilian culture through timeless feminine stories and symbols. Inspired by Brazil’s many dance traditions\, it explores themes of strength\, transformation and the wisdom carried within the body. Drawing from world mythology\, Yoruba beliefs\, Jungian psychology\, Clarissa Pinkola Estés’ “Wild Woman” archetype and the vibrant rhythms of Brazil\, the performance uses movement as a way to honor the past\, express the present and connect with something deeper. More than a celebration of culture\, this work is a personal journey. It explores how dance can help us navigate life’s biggest challenges and reconnect with our inner strength. Through themes of femininity\, grief\, motherhood\, empowerment and healing\, it invites audiences to reflect on the resilience of the human spirit and our ability to grow\, heal and begin again. Directed by Vika S. Hernandez. Featuring guest choreographers Roxanne Rojas de Blanco\, Tania Araoz and Katrina Kelly\, with Live Music by Rafael Hernandez and Aki Drums and original music by Alabe Bira Santos from Bahia\, Brazil.

SUMMARY:Luminaries
DESCRIPTION:Mounarath Powell Dance presents “Luminaries” at the MP Dance Performance Space (8674 La Mesa Blvd\, La Mesa\, CA 91942) on October 9-17\, 2026 @ 7:30pm. \nCelebrating its 17th season\, Mounarath Powell Dance illuminates the many ways we connect\, endure\, and believe.  With special guest choreographers\, who are real life luminaries of San Diego\, these works explore the human experience through stories of identity\, resilience\, power\, history\, and hope. \nThe program opens with Jean Isaac’s When Strangers Meet\, inspired by the music of Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble\, explores the evolving connection between two people as strangers become acquainted. Through movement\, the duet reflects a journey from curiosity and openness to trust\, understanding\, and mutual support\, revealing how shared experiences can transform an initial encounter into a deeper bond. \nBil Wright brings dance-theatre to the stage where a man relives a life-altering experience with his Haitian grandfather. \nA new work by Khamla Somphanh examines the multifaceted meanings of “holding\,” framing the body as a site of shifting definitions. These variances mirror our differing perspectives and inform how we move through life. \nTodd Mitchum’s I Need Do Nothing is a choreographic duet exploring power\, restraint\, vulnerability\, and the tension between action and surrender. Through connection\, resistance\, dependence\, and control\, two bodies navigate systems that shape and restrict movement. At its core\, the work asks: when the world demands action\, what does it mean to simply be? \nDry Roses was created by Betzi Roe in 1988 for California Ballet’s 25th Anniversary and later became part of the CBC repertoire. Inspired by the women\, art\, and vintage Russian jazz of the 1920s\, the piece captures the era’s changing attitudes toward femininity\, morality\, and self-expression through movement\, gesture\, and music. \nRounding out the program is Artistic Director\, Powell’s\, Believe\, originally created in 2012 and now being reset on the company\, inviting audiences into a poignant story of hope\, resilience\, and the enduring power of belief. \nTogether\, these works form a constellation of voices and perspectives\, each offering its own light while contributing to a larger portrait of the human experience.  Join Mounarath Powell Dance for its 17th season and experience an evening of dance!

SUMMARY:Luminaries
DESCRIPTION:Mounarath Powell Dance presents “Luminaries” at the MP Dance Performance Space (8674 La Mesa Blvd\, La Mesa\, CA 91942) on October 9-17\, 2026 @ 7:30pm. \nCelebrating its 17th season\, Mounarath Powell Dance illuminates the many ways we connect\, endure\, and believe.  With special guest choreographers\, who are real life luminaries of San Diego\, these works explore the human experience through stories of identity\, resilience\, power\, history\, and hope. \nThe program opens with Jean Isaac’s When Strangers Meet\, inspired by the music of Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble\, explores the evolving connection between two people as strangers become acquainted. Through movement\, the duet reflects a journey from curiosity and openness to trust\, understanding\, and mutual support\, revealing how shared experiences can transform an initial encounter into a deeper bond. \nBil Wright brings dance-theatre to the stage where a man relives a life-altering experience with his Haitian grandfather. \nA new work by Khamla Somphanh examines the multifaceted meanings of “holding\,” framing the body as a site of shifting definitions. These variances mirror our differing perspectives and inform how we move through life. \nTodd Mitchum’s I Need Do Nothing is a choreographic duet exploring power\, restraint\, vulnerability\, and the tension between action and surrender. Through connection\, resistance\, dependence\, and control\, two bodies navigate systems that shape and restrict movement. At its core\, the work asks: when the world demands action\, what does it mean to simply be? \nDry Roses was created by Betzi Roe in 1988 for California Ballet’s 25th Anniversary and later became part of the CBC repertoire. Inspired by the women\, art\, and vintage Russian jazz of the 1920s\, the piece captures the era’s changing attitudes toward femininity\, morality\, and self-expression through movement\, gesture\, and music. \nRounding out the program is Artistic Director\, Powell’s\, Believe\, originally created in 2012 and now being reset on the company\, inviting audiences into a poignant story of hope\, resilience\, and the enduring power of belief. \nTogether\, these works form a constellation of voices and perspectives\, each offering its own light while contributing to a larger portrait of the human experience.  Join Mounarath Powell Dance for its 17th season and experience an evening of dance!

SUMMARY:Fall ChoreoWreck 2026
DESCRIPTION:About the event\nTwo San Diego choreographers (the wreckees) offer up their works-in-progress to the “wrecking” process. We’ve invited four other dance artists (the wreckers) who practice in a variety of dance genres to play with the work and remake it live\, in front of an audience! This is a rare opportunity for audiences to witness the creative process of dance making. Learn more about “wrecking”. \nThe Process\nEach “wreckee” has 2 hours to go through the entire wrecking process (two wreckings each). The wreckee first presents the original work. Then their “wreckers” will get 45 minutes each to remake the dance on the wreckee\, followed by a showing of that remake. After each wreckee’s full session\, there will be a short “talk back” with artists and audience. \nThere is a break between the two wreckee sessions for audiences to stretch their legs and mingle with the artists.\nFree event…come & go as you please!\nFall ChoreoWreck 2026 is offered free to the public (suggested $10 donation to help pay the artists) – RSVP requested due to capacity limitations. \nThroughout the entire event\, audiences are welcome to come and go – pick and choose which sessions you’d like to watch\, take a break whenever you need\, stay for the whole event! Wristbands will be provided for re-entry. \nFall ChoreoWreck is made possible with the generous sponsorship of studio space by Culture Shock San Diego and funded in part by City of San Diego Cultural Affairs. \nSchedule of Events\n12:00pm: Greetings & Introduction\n12:15pm: Wreckee Session #1 – Elizabeth Haldo\n2:15pm: Wreckee Session #1 Talk Back\n2:35pm: Break\n3:20pm: Re-introduction of Wrecking\n3:30pm: Wreckee Session #2 – Devin Hargrett\n5:30pm: Wreckee Session #2 Talk Back

SUMMARY:Ghost Light Masquerade
DESCRIPTION:Ghost Light Masquerade returns this October\, inviting audiences inside the mysterious world of The Nocturne Theatre for The Rosin Box Project’s award winning immersive\, after-dark Halloween experience. \nEvery theatre keeps a single lamp burning after the house goes dark: the Ghost Light. Theatrical superstition says it keeps the spirits away. At The Nocturne\, it draws them closer. \nFor a limited time each October\, The Nocturne Theatre descends and conjures an otherworldly masquerade where superstition walks\, legends breathe\, and Spirits dance. There are no assigned seats and no fourth wall. Instead\, guests move freely through the space\, following Resident Spirits\, discovering hidden encounters\, gathering around the stage\, and experiencing contemporary ballet and theatrical performances unfolding throughout the night. \nCreated by The Rosin Box Project\, San Diego’s premier contemporary ballet company\, Ghost Light Masquerade blends contemporary dance\, theatrical storytelling\, music\, masks\, and immersive environments into a Halloween experience unlike anything else in San Diego. \nCostumes and masks are encouraged\, and masks are available upon arrival. No knowledge of ballet is required\, only a willingness to follow the light. \nThe Ghost Light is burning. Dare to enter.
