*Program #1
Saturday March 20, 2010 at 2 & 7pm*

In *SER*, follow Karen Anzoategui's soccer journey from Los Angeles to
Buenos Aires along with her zany family as she tries to see Diego Maradona,
her soccer God, while at the same time encountering many unexpected
situations.

*LANGUAGE*, by Shameka Cunningham, tells a story of a monolingual African
American woman’s friendship with a Deaf eight-year-old boy from Sweden.

*UNIVERSAL BREATH*, Carla Vega's solo performance, is a multi-disciplinary
exploration of love, addiction, and the healing journey to one's sense of
center, purpose, and inner peace.
 *Program #2
Saturday March 27, 2010 at 2 & 7pm*

Ching-In Chen and Serena Lin's *TWO RUMORS IN A BUCKET * choreopoem examines
the history of “coolies” in the tradition of Sharon Bridgforth's "jazz
theater" aesthetic, incorporating movement, poetry and found text.

Felicia Montes uses Indigenous & Mexican music and dance along with remixed
versions of "MexSheCan" Lotería cards to weave together the varied
identities and experiences of a modern-day Xicana.

*NOT A PROPER HATIAN GIRL * is Marie-Francoise Theodore’s piece that charts
the journey of a young woman whose true identity is hidden throughout her
childhood and the discovery of her true self.
