Berkeley RADICAL Women's Work

While Cal Performances has always presented female artists of the highest caliber and distinction, we take a specific look this season at the extraordinary artistry of five women who are not only principal creators of works on our 2018/19 season, but more broadly, are expanding the definition of what it is to be an artist in the 21st century. The Women’s Work strand includes five programs across several genres, created by trailblazing female theater artists, musicians, directors, and choreographers.

Berkeley RADICAL Citizenship

The diverse series of five performances that form the Citizenship theme provide engagement opportunities that spotlight the human side of the current debate on immigration and nationalism. By sharing unique perspectives on the threats to—and responsibilities of—citizenship, the artists included here illustrate the universal need for belonging and home, and invoke the very real sense of urgency and peril that pervades the world today.
