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.
