DANCE
The Town On Notice is an experimental dance film based on the original stage production by Dimensions Dance Theater. Visions of Oakland, California, dynamic choreography, and touches of abstraction combine to show our city’s profound, unique flavor. Diana Cordero, Sonia D. Pina, and Umi Vaughan created this work supported by the Oakland Cultural Funding Program.
