FEATURED ARTISTS:

RUTH FRASER: a world traveler, weaver of wit and wisdom, entwines and envelops our listening with the richness of language and the gifts of the world through storytelling.

VALERIE SOE: an image maker, moving us through thoughts, statements of culture and the challenges of identity as she explores the Asian American experience through her film-work.

GABE JOHAL DOMINGUEZ: whether strumming his guitar or pedaling his bike, he brings alive the message of Green Activism with movin’, groovy and singing. Hearing him, you can’t help but to “Shake Your Peace!”.

BELMONDO: Musician Songwriters Nicholas Ng and Slaven Svetinovic conjured the title for this acoustic pop duo one random evening, inspired by the French Actor, Jean Paul Belmondo. They will share original music with such lyrics as:  ”my body is a cage that keeps me from dancing with the one i love but my mind holds/not holds the key”

…And, of course, ETH-NOH-TEC will weave moving bodies, telling voices, theatrical stories of ancient Asian myths, metaphors with modern messages!

Kristy Lin Billuni: weaves several strands of fairy tales into a modern braid about women.
Kyoko Kikuchi: performing a classic Japanese folk tale of a monk out witting an “Oni”
Jeanne Haynes: takes us through turbulent times, civil rights movement and SF Riots of the 60’s “The Stove is White”.
