DESCRIPTION:Purple Moon Dance Project proudly presents the 3rd biennial "In Honor of 
 Our DreamSpeakers" performance celebration which honors 5 visionary artists 
 whose groundbreaking work spans all media - from dance, poetry, music, 
 performance art, storytelling, lighting, visual art, spoken word - and 
 whose passion has encompassed the essence of what keeps our cultures alive 
 by telling stories we don't otherwise hear, honoring our ancestors, and 
 supporting our communities. \n \nThe event helps to illuminate the 
 remarkable, history-making achievements of these women of color or lesbian 
 artists who have contributed towards social change, diversity, artistic 
 expression and equality; and broadens their recognition by opening doors to 
 their enormous body of work. By focusing on their personal vehicles of 
 artistic expression through the lens of social activism, the DreamSpeakers 
 honorees have given shape, voice and power to communities that are often 
 left out of the mainstream.\n \nThe 2010 DreamSpeakers include:\nWriter and 
 performer - Brenda Wong Aoki \nSculptor and lighting designer - Stephanie 
 Anne Johnson\nDirector and dancer - Judith Smith of AXIS Dance 
 Company\nPoet, writer and educator - Penina Ava Taesali\nMusician, poet and 
 radio personality - Avotcja \n \nA Special Guest appearance by former San 
 Francisco Poet Laureate Janice Mirikitani will be one of the highlights of 
 the evening. Other performers include jazz musician Francis Wong, tabla 
 performer Robin Sukhadia, singer Melanie DeMore, and dancer Deborah Vaughn. 
 Several previous DreamSpeakers and guest artists are involved, 
 collaborating with Purple Moon's core artists in what promises to be a 
 spectacular evening that will feature over 25 artists performing dance, 
 music, visual art and spoken word.\n \nThe celebration begins promptly at 
 6:30 p.m. followed by a reception at 8:00 p.m. at the Buriel Clay Theater 
 at the African American Art & Culture Complex, 762 Fulton Street, San 
 Francisco, CA 94102.\n
