DESCRIPTION:8pm Thursday through Saturday, September 1-10; and 2pm on Sunday, September 
 4 and 11\n\nLenora Lee Dance, Asian Improv aRts, and API Cultural Center 
 present Lenora Lee Dance's world premiere of "In the Movement," an 
 explosive multimedia dance piece focusing on the separation of families and 
 mass detention of immigrants as forms of incarceration. It serves as a 
 meditation on reconciliation and restorative justice, speaking to the power 
 of individuals and communities to transcend.\n\nThrough dance, sound and 
 narrative, "In the Movement" highlights the stories and experiences of 
 individuals subjected to incarceration, ICE detention and deportation as 
 told through recorded interviews.  This new work illustrates the systematic 
 cycle of oppression that keeps many immigrants either incarcerated, 
 detained or cycling between the two.\n\nOne of those interviewed is 
 Community Advocate for Asian Prisoner Support Committee (APSC) and a former 
 juvenile lifer Borey "Peejay" Ai, who recounts:\n"ICE detention is worse 
 than prison. It's a very inhumane place.... I couldn't believe a system in 
 America could treat people that way, regardless of your circumstances, your 
 background....  It was heartbreaking."\n\nIn addition to Ai, Artistic 
 Director Lenora Lee interviewed advocates working with: 67 Suenos, an 
 Oakland-based youth organizing program with political education, artivism, 
 and trauma-healing;  Cindy Liou, the daughter of Chinese-Taiwanese 
 immigrants,, attorney and immigrants' rights advocate; Jessica S. Yamane, 
 co-director at Pangea Legal Services, directly supporting impacted 
 community members who are developing alternatives to deportation and 
 detention; advocate, artist, counselor and organizer Enrique Cristobal 
 Meneses who was born in Mexico City, Mexico; and  Melanie Kim, a State 
 Policy Director at the San Francisco Public Defender's Office and a leader 
 in ICE out of California.\n\n$20-$50.\n
