George Abe; Mariko Elaine Fukumoto; Nancy Miiko Sekizawa; Mark H. Rooney; [Performers] The artists of FandangObon present a workshop that shares contemporary Japanese American Festival traditions, including dancing and drumming. Come hear about how Japanese Americans commemorate their ancestors and deceased loved ones through the summer ritual of obon. Join the circle and learn the dances, old and new, from this tradition. FandangObon is a collaborative performing arts project led by California-born Japanese and Mexican American artists that explores connections between the participatory music and dance traditions of fandango son jarocho of Veracruz, Mexico, and the Japanese Buddhist ritual of obon.
