Red Jade Collective San Francisco's Red Jade Collective has intrigued and engaged audiences throughout California, the east coast, and Asia with its experimental multidisciplinary performances fusing elements of Jazz, West African, Cuban, Brazilian, American Indian, Japanese, and Filipino music traditions with American modern dance and improvisation. The work focuses on the organic integration of music and dance, and the representation of the unique mixture of cultures in the Bay Area. In their vision to step beyond the typical roles of musician and dancer, the artists generate new bodies of phrases and sounds with traditional and non-traditional vocabulary. Crossing Currents relates the struggle to find and retain a sense of modern urban identity through crosscultural music and dance. The core stories represented within the work are those of each of the performers and their evolving personal artistic struggles within their disciplines. As such, the aim of the performance is not to retell the older stories embodied in the traditions represented by the Red Jade Collective but instead to respectfully offer a real-time portrait of shared artistic evolution grounded in tradition and evolving through the interactions portrayed onstage. In this way the work also seeks to function as a representative vision for both individuals and larger communities within San Francisco. Members of the Red Jade Collective include Artistic Directors Jimmy Biala & Lenora Lee, and John-Carlos Perea, Jen Shyu, and Melody Takata.
