Shawl-Anderson Dance Center is excited to share that we are bringing back our Dance Up Close/East Bay performance series!

Please join us January 27 and 28 for Danny Nguyen's solo show No Death, No Magic: Year 4.

 

A magic show about life and death. Using dance as a vehicle for magical gestures. Allowing the audience to feel what it is like to lose a loved one or to grieve someone they have already lost. Creating a ceremony to celebrate life.

The performances take place at SADC's newest community partner, the Parker Electric Foundation, in Jack London Square (Oakland).
 

Danny shares, “This project is inspired by my experience with death and grief when my mom passed away suddenly. It was a very lonely experience. As I reached out to those close to me for support, I learned of so many people in my life who had similarly felt isolated when grieving their own losses. In our society, death is this private, almost taboo subject with little space to discuss it openly. When my mom died, it felt like it was so big and I was the only one going through it while the world carried on. But in reality, death impacts us all. We aren’t alone in the experience of losing a loved one. And we ourselves are all going to die.”
 

Tickets are already selling quickly, so grab yours today. Seating is limited to 45 guests. The Parker Electric Foundation is a wheelchair accessible space. The performances begin at 7:30pm.
