Event Details

 Spells for Chinatown is a 2-tiered celebration of Asian Heritage Month

  

We are thrilled to partner with Dumb Instrument Dance and a roster of talented artists in an installation that sends healing prayers and good vibrations into the world.


We invite you to visit Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden and join us at either 4:30pm or 5:00pm for a 30-minute time slot to move about, meditate and to share in conjuring a little outdoor magic.


This is a free event and there is a limited capacity of 15 guests for each time slot.


Multiple areas of the Garden will be animated through incantations of movement and music.


The Garden’s primary entrance has been relocated to Keefer and Carrall St, right across from S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Simon K.Y. Lee Senior Care Home.



Imagined and Produced by Dumb Instrument Dance
