DESCRIPTION:Oct. 26, 27, and 28 at 7pm, Oct 28 at 3pm, Oct 29 at 2pm\n\nNAKA Dance 
 Theater announces "Y Basta Ya! The Performance of the Performance," a film 
 and live performance of the seven-year-long multidisciplinary and 
 multilingual performance project - "Y Basta Ya!" -  highlighting stories of 
 Indigenous and Latine immigrant women and their intimate and personal 
 exploration of issues of race, gender violence, and invisibility, and 
 individual and collective power. NAKA Dance Theater Co-Directors Jose Ome 
 Mazatl and Debby Kajiyama and their collaborators reflect on their 
 experiences of creating the piece, focusing on key artifacts, costumes and 
 photos and reflecting on border-crossings and the loss of languages to 
 create a dream-like, multimedia-infused "Performance of the Performance."  
 "Y Basta Ya!" is an ongoing project engaging Latine community members in 
 different cities across the US. \n\nCreated by Mazatl and Kajiyama in 
 partnership with members of Mujeres Unidas y Activas (MUA), a grassroots 
 organization promoting individual healing and community power, Y Basta Ya! 
 engages an intimate and personal exploration of issues of race, gender 
 violence and invisibility, and their individual and collective effects on 
 survivors.  Each "Performance of the Performance" begins with a workshop 
 led by the women in the original community performance. Live and through 
 video, they share stories reflecting on their individual and collective 
 transformation and dreaming about the future.\n\nThe creative process 
 happens in Circulos de Aprendizaje (Collaborative Learning Circles) -  
 groups of women who gather regularly to creatively research and resolve 
 problems that affect their own community. From there, they share what they 
 have learned with their broader community and continue the learning and 
 creative problem-solving process.  Rather than presenting performances in 
 traditional theater venues, NAKA activates spaces that belong to the 
 community in question: cultural centers, street corners, bakeries, or 
 neighborhood parks.\n\n$25.\n
