Performing Diaspora Festival - beyond tradition

Performing Diaspora Festival - beyond tradition: "It was the Sufi poet Rumi who asked, 'When will you begin that long journey into yourself?' The 13 artists of CounterPulse's Performing Diaspora Festival, which begins next weekend have been on that journey for a year, and now dance audiences will have a chance to see snapshots of their trip. This ambitious new festival - which brings together artists from the Bay Area, Fresno and the Los Angeles/Pasadena area - has been as much about the process of creating the works as about the produced pieces that will be on the stage over the next three weekends."
