$10 - https://www.facebook.com/events/596483424181101/

Lost Chinatowns is a solo dance-theater work that combines embodied rhythms,

dynamic movement, and poetic writing to explore the invisibilized histories of Santa Cruz’s Chinatowns from 1860-1955. The piece aims to make connections between the historical othering of Asian bodies and current racialized xenophobia in the era of Trump.
