About Far From Home:
Far From Home is an evening length dance and performance work for eleven performers that includes video, spoken work (in foreign and familiar dialects), original, archival and popular music and is performed in two separate sites at the 18th Street Arts Complex in Santa Monica, California. The work explores the idea of Diaspora--communities that began in one place and have since disbursed globally--and highlights Mexican, Afro-Caribbean, Japanese and Eastern European (Jewish) cultures.
