"TRANSIT(ION) Trilogy: Emigration Transformation" tells the epic story of the exodus of the Eastern European jews in the late 1800's, their immigration to America, early life in New York's lower east side, and their descendants' artistic contributions to mainstream American culture through ballet, music, video and narrative.
The narration tracks this progression through excerpts of text from letters, poems, newspaper clippings and novels. The music flows through the decades - opening in klezmer and ending in rap - and the movement style ranges from folk to contemporary ballet.
This project is funded, in part, by a grant from the Nevada Arts Council, a state agency,
and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.
