“The Wait Room is
designed to reflect upon and bear artistic witness to the experience of
women with incarcerated loved ones. Embedded within the piece are
ruminations on how these women suffer and overcome, how their lives are
disrupted, their relationships challenged, their bodies policed. The
dance enacts metaphorical strategies for responding to the literal and
figurative walls erected between these women and their loved ones. The
dancers’ bodies register how the prison industrial complex has a reach
that extends far beyond the prison bars." - Melissa Bell in SF Chronicle

"The East Bay Center for the Performing Arts
is a surprising place of discovery. Here our student artists— through
the breadth, depth, and passion of experiencing classical master works
and cutting-edge forms from around the world—come to know the world’s
great performance traditions, the beauty of one’s neighbor, a calling in
life, and the life of the mind, in addition to the spark of young
imagination."
