Threshold, a dual program by choreographer Claudine Naganuma of dNaga Dance Co. and choreographer SanSan Kwan, offers a feminist response to anti-Asian violence and Asian American invisibility. This evening of two dances ushers audiences into an encounter with the shadows and structures that uphold racial violence, and, in response, choreographs a space of restoration and liberation. Threshold consists of two world premieres: Two Doors by SanSan Kwan and Unbound by dNaga Dance Co/Claudine Naganuma. Performances are Friday, October 18 and Saturday, October 19 at 7:30pm and a Sunday, October 20th matinee at 2pm at the Mondavi Center at UC Davis.
Threshold is supported in part by the Anti Asian Violence: Origins and Trajectories research initiative through a University of California Multicampus Research Programs and Initiatives grant and the UC Davis Asian American Studies department. Threshold explores the kinetics of resilience. Naganuma and Kwan offer two world premieres that invite audiences to meet them at the Threshold, cross through with community, and dive into legacies that bring us toward sovereignty over our Selves and into solidarity with the collective.
