2021 Season

8th Annual Contemporary Performance Diasporas Festival: Shifting

June 25-26, 2021

Historically, this festival had been presented in Berkley featuring works from artists of diverse cultural roots that were all developed in the San Francisco Bay Area. This year’s festival includes works by local theatre, dance, music, and performance artists along with art makers in the US and around the world. The festival was presented, for the first time, online as a digital festival last June due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
