 Ensambles Ballet Folklorico & Duniya Dance and Drum Company\nThe project 
 has sparked the collaborative relationship between nonprofit Mexican 
 Folklórico dance company, Ensambles Ballet Folklórico de San Francisco, 
 and Duniya Dance and Drum Company’s Artistic Director, Joti Singh, and is 
 an exploration of the Punjabi-Mexican communities that formed in the early 
 20th century, in the Imperial, San Joaquin, and Sacramento valleys of 
 California. Their children, who sometimes referred to themselves as “half 
 and halves,” were brought up with mostly Mexican and American culture. 
 With performances on November 13th at 7pm and November 14th at 2pm at the 
 Brava Theater, Half and Halves investigates the lives of these interracial 
 families.\n \nAbout Dancers’ Group\nDancers’ Group promotes the
