Hi all,

 I hope you don't mind this announcement for my next
show in NYC. As usual, there wil be a lot of
shakuhachi. The sound of the flute will permeate
several genres of popular music such as Country Rock,
Hip Hop, 60's Folk and much more. Hope to see you
there!

Mulberry Street Theater presents the EAR to the GROUND
series: JET STREAM by Perry Yung with In Mixed
Company.
Nov 3-5, 8pm
70 Mulberry St. NYC
$15 general/$13 students and seniors.
RESV. (212) 349-0126

Perry Yung and Maura Nguyen Donohue, together with
Peggy Cheng, Brian Nishii, Richard Ebihara, and guests
Abby Chan and Julian Barnett will present JET STREAM,
a new multimedia performance piece looking at
contemporary interculturalism through the movement of
wind and bodies.=A0 Set against images of modern day
Vietnam, Hong Kong, Japan and the United States, this
celebration of the=20
diaspora uses dance, video, live music and personal
narratives to reveal both the chaos and the calm of
multiracial and multinational Asian identities.=A0 The
work illustrates how culture can transcend borders of
race, nationality and gender. Perry Yung, an American
born Chinese, will craft a Japanese Zen bamboo flute
(shakuhachi) each night on stage. Ideas like
=93turbulence=94 and =93resonance=94, common in the building
of a flute, will be explored by the dancers and
blended with elements of pop culture for a global
perspective.=A0 This performance is made possible in
part by the Manhattan Community Arts Fund/New York
City Department of Cultural Affairs, administered by
the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council.

For those who have never been to one of my performance
art events, do not fear. There will be no fruit thrown
at the audience or chocolate smeared on naked
bodies...unless you want it.

Those interested can email off the list .

 Have a great day.
Namaste,
Perry
