10:00 am: Japanese New Year Temple Bell Ringing Ceremony (in-person)


Dec 31

This program takes place at the Asian Art Museum at 200 Larkin St. in San Francisco.

On Dec 31, we invite members of Lighthouse for the Blind for a  haptic experience by emailing: communityengagement@asianart.org. Details follow.

Cultural Celebration

38th Annual Japanese New Year Bell-Ringing Ceremony

Come celebrate with your museum community for an experience the San Francisco Chronicle calls “a great way to end a year and start a new year.”

Ring in the New Year by taking a swing at a 2,100-pound, 16th-century Japanese temple bell. Led by Reverend Gengo Akiba, this inspiring ceremony will include a purification ritual and chanting of the Buddhist Heart Sutra. Visitors will have an opportunity to ring the bell to leave behind any unfortunate experiences, regrettable deeds, or ill luck from the year. The bell will be struck 108 times to usher in the New Year and curb the 108 mortal desires (bonno) that, according to Buddhist belief, torment humankind.

Schedule

10:00 am: Doors open
10:30 am to 12:00 pm: Members-only Bell-Ringing
12:00 pm: Haptic Tour for Blind and Visually Impaired Community (preregistration required)

7:00 pm: Les Ballet Trockadero de Monte Carlo: Audio-Described Performance & Haptic Tour (in-person)


Jan 27

WHAT: Les Ballet Trockadero de Monte Carlo

WHEN: Saturday, January 27 Haptic Tour at 7.00pm and 8.00pm Performance.

WHERE: Cal Performances 101 Zellerbach Hall, Berkeley, CA 94720.

For lovers of live performance, there is a deeply satisfying combination of delights that the Trocks deliver better than almost anyone else: exquisite technique and elegant styling, deftly delivered with a hilarious punchline. Celebrating its landmark 50th anniversary season, the all-male drag ballet company is adored for affectionately skewering the old warhorses of classical dance and inviting audiences to rediscover both obscure and beloved scenes from classic repertoire. The Trocks were groundbreaking at their founding in 1974, and their irreverent, deeply informed romps through the glories and excesses of the dance world continue to offer laughs for aficionados and novices alike. “This is a company that brings its audiences pure joy” (The Seattle Times).

Purchase tickets to Les Ballet Trockadero de Monte Carlo. 

To reserve a spot on the haptic tour and a listening devise for the audio described portion of the performance, contact the box office after January 3rd by calling 510-642-9988 or via email at tickets@calperformances.org.

From Shotgun Players. World Premiere! In the sunless Pittsburgh winter of 1996, two young women connect over a shared love for R&B but quickly discover something deeper.

The stress of first love, financial hardship, and future uncertainty threaten to destroy it.
