Asian dance festival ‘10,000 Dream’ to spotlight choreographers

“All of us resonated with each other’s stories,” says Chan, an arts administrator, author and former ballet dancer based in New York City. “There was a deep moment where we sort of were committing to building a network, building a community, taking up space, being loud, being bold. This festival really came out of that impetus of saying, ‘No, we’re going to take up space, we’re going to make some noise, and we’re going to show you how brilliant we are.’ ”
