Portals at Dance Mission Theatre

Centered around the theme of transition, this mixed program highlights varied stories, each piece probing what it means to be at the crossroads of change. The program is anchored by the piece, Two Doors, a choreographic study of the aftermaths of anti-Asian violence, first mounted in 2024 at the Mondavi Center in Davis. Two Doors ushers us on a journey towards relational vulnerability, opening the portal into an array of explorations on liminality.

The evening will offer six distinct journeys from Asian American femme artists, each exploring the liminality we experience when we are at the brink of change. As the United States faces unprecedented shifts that leave many of us anxious and confused, these pieces offer varied approaches to transition through choreographic narrative.
