The Experience:
Island City Waterways’ Uprooted Tells Story of Alameda Point!
Connecting Cultures – Connecting Community – Saturday & Sunday, May 21 & 22, 10am – 4:30pm
A new cast of 35 musicians and dancers will tell the story of Alameda Point – a site that served as an airport for the PanAm China Clippers in the 1920s, became a naval air station that staged four wars, and is now being repurposed, fulfilling the promise of a community’s future. Sat/Sun, May 21/22 at Alameda’s West Mall Square.
Audiences will join ODC/Dance, 13th Floor, Maze Daiko and Akira Tana Trio on a 75-minute, outdoor performance art walk that takes them on a journey from the wings of peace to the wings of war and from boot camp to WWII internment camp. Along the way, audiences are invited to attend a 1930’s air race, participate in a swing dance lesson, and experience an 18-piece taiko ensemble honoring the resilience of the human spirit.
Island City Waterways is FREE and open to all ages. RSVP suggested. Rhythmix looks forward to seeing you at Alameda Point for this unique experience!
