The MiniFest opens Thursday at UC Berkeley’s Morrison Hall with a free lecture/demonstration, “Body Music – The Oldest Music on the Planet,” and stomps into high gear Friday at Ashkenaz with “Pass It Around,” an interactive program designed to turn audiences into participants. Cross-cultural collaboration is built into the structure of the music with Terry, bass singer Bryan Dyer, beatboxer Steve Hogan’s Corposonic Trio serving as a house rhythm section for Dewa Berata’s Balinese kecak, Jim Santi Owen’s South Indian solkatu and Antwan Davis’ African-American stepping. They’ll also be interacting with Clara Rodriguez’ AguaClara Flamenco, Balkan folk dancers Ivan Velev and Sean Tergis, Georgia Sea Islands Ranky Tanky from Rhonda Benin and the contemporary body music of Evie Ladin’s MoToR/dance troupe.

“There’s things I can’t do — so I go to something that isn’t perfect, but I get something out of it,” Bryan says, chin thrust forward in a gesture that could be her signature movement. Mitchell, reflecting on the awareness she has gained from her students, says, “I’ve learned it’s a struggle every day. And that one of the most important things about having a disability is retaining your dignity. Someone who has instability in his or her body has dancing inside. Dance for PD is not about precision or correctness, it’s about finding joy.”.
