Burgess will share how his heritage as a 4th-generation Korean American influences his creative process. He will also discuss his new memoir, Chino and the Dance of the Butterfly, and his commitment to telling Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) stories through dance.
Dancers from the Dana Tai Soon Burgess Dance Company will perform excerpts from their repertoire, including Landscapes: A Tribute to Toshiko Takaezu, which debuted at The Noguchi Museum as part of the exhibition "Toshiko Takaezu: Worlds Within." The exhibition is currently on view at Cranbrook Art Museum through January 12, 2025.
This event is free and open to all!
