writing to personally invite you to a performance this evening. Tsahai Dias, of
Dias Dance Life in Arizona, is currently visiting campus and will be performing
her piece entitled “Don’t Give Up, Moving On!” in honor of Domestic Violence
Awareness Month. <span class="apple-style-span"><span style="color:black;
background:white">Using a multimedia approach to reveal the multiple layers of
domestic violence, this extraordinary dance performance draws the audience into
a metaphoric web of power, abuse, trust, friendship, and love, ultimately
rising to enlightenment and providing a sense of hope. Tsahai Dias, a master
dance instructor for the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in New York City
for the past 15 years as well as a choreographer, producer, and former
curriculum developer for South Mountain Community College and Arizona State
University, is making her return to the stage and has founded a new dance
company, Dias Dance Life. </span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="color:black;

background:white">I think this performance will also ground a conversation about domestic violence among activists in the community. So often we forget about the violence that occurs here in our own homes, in our own communities while we fight for the rights of others. Let this be an opportunity to think about how we can organize to resist domestic violence.</span></span></span></p>
