A curated evening of live dance, AAPI dance makers present works that tell stories of “Becoming Asian American”. This year's invited choreographers work primarily in modern and contemporary dance forms. Each come from different cultural backgrounds and are inspirational and accomplished artists in their own right. Together, they will present an evening of profound sharing and deep questioning. We hope audiences will come away with a richer understanding and appreciation of our AAPI communities and identities. This event is offered at three ticket tiers: Support the Artists - $45 General Admission - $35 Artist/Student/Low-Income - $15 Learn more about AADF2025 Mainstage Showcase, and read more about the dancer makers - https://tiltshiftdance.org/aadf-mainstage-showcase Learn more about AADF2025 and all festival events - https://tiltshiftdance.org/aadf "BECOMING ASIAN AMERICAN": As Asian Americans we are continually navigating our identity, weaving together our ancestral heritage with our current day lives. Through this festival, AAPI dance artists tell our stories of heritage, family, immigration, colonization, and assimilation. We remember the struggles and hardships of the first generations who came to the United States. We celebrate their resilience and triumphs. We recognize what we as Asian and Pacific Islanders inherit, and we uncover what we as Americans take on or let go of. We recognize and embrace our journey to become not just Asians and Pacific Islanders in America, but to become Asian Americans...finding our place in this melting pot of cultures.

Los Angeles-based artist Shirley Tse (b.1968) works in sculpture, installation, photography, and text. She deconstructs our world of synthetic objects that carry paradoxical meanings and constructs different models in which differences might come together. Various strategies of visualising heterogeneity are used: conflating different scales, fusing the organic with the industrial, crossing between the literal and the metaphorical, merging different narratives, and collapsing the subject and object relationship. Tse received a Master of Fine Arts from ArtCenter College of Design, Pasadena and Bachelor of Arts degree from the Chinese University of Hong Kong Department of Fine Arts. Tse represented Hong Kong at the 58th Venice Biennale. Her work is featured in many articles, catalogues, and publications including "Akademie X: Lessons in Art + Life" (2015) and "Sculpture Today" (2007). Tse received the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship in 2009 and is on faculty at California Institute of the Arts since 2001 where she is Robert Fitzpatrick Chair in Art.
