Description

ORIGINAL MOVEMENT/MUSIC/THEATER PERFORMANCE CREATED AS A COLLABORATION BETWEEN YOUTH AND PROFESSIONAL ARTISTS MARCH 19-28

The internationally regarded model of youth arts and violence prevention organizations, Destiny Arts Center in Oakland, marks the beginning of its third decade as a creative community epicenter with the world premiere of Asylum, a movement/theater work created by the young artists of the Destiny Arts Youth Performance Company. Created in collaboration with Artistic Directors Sarah Crowell and Rashidi Omari and acclaimed Bay Area performing arts professionals, the full-length work features hip-hop dance and music, theater, spoken word, modern dance, aerial dance, video backdrop art, rap and a cast of 40 talented youth, ages 6 to 18. Asylum frames the current state of world affairs as a circus turned inside out, where heroes are questionable and villains run free. It is a powerful glimpse into how young Americans see the state of the world and what can be done about it. Asylum will be given six performances: Friday, March 19th & Saturday, March 20th at 7:30 pm; Sunday, March 21st at 2:00 pm AND Friday, March 26th at 7:30pm; Saturday, March 27th at 2:00pm and 7:30pm; and Sunday, March 28th at 2pm at Laney College Theater, 900 Fallon Street, Oakland, 94607. A special benefit performance to support the Raising the Roof Campaign is scheduled for Saturday, March 20th, priced at $50 including performance ticket, reserved seating and post-performance dessert reception to meet the artists.
