Presented by Bay Area Independent Chinese Dancers
The Min Languages form the basis of Taiwanese, Hokkien, Teochew, and Hainanese. For most of the 20th and 21st centuries, Min languages have been looked down upon as dialects. In artistic and dance traditions, Min peoples are often depicted as insular, uneducated, and uncouth.
Min Bridges seeks to change that. We’ve developed a series of original choreographies and reworkings of Min songs and folk, classical, and contemporary dances from throughout the countries where Min peoples live, which show the diversity of Min-speaking cultures wherever they may be.
Shows at 6pm and 8pm.
