San Diego Dance Theater is proud to host Mademoiselle Cinema, a dynamic dance company from Tokyo, Japan, founded in 1993 by choreographer Naoko Ito. This summer’s Live Arts Fest I celebrates international collaboration through A Woman’s Journey (Onna wa Tabi de Aru), a moving work inspired by the historical experience of Japanese “picture brides”—women who immigrated to the United States in the early 20th century with only a photograph of their prospective husbands, in search of new beginnings and uncertain futures.
