Wanda's Picks Radio Show Rebroadcast Oct. 20, 2021

This is a black arts and culture site. We will be exploring the African Diaspora via the writing, performance, both musical and theatrical (film and stage), as well as the visual arts of Africans in the Diaspora and those influenced by these aesthetic forms of expression. I am interested in the political and social ramifications of art on society, specifically movements supported by these artists and their forebearers. It is my claim that the artists are the true revolutionaries, their work honest and filled with raw unedited passion. They are our true heroes. Ashay! We listen to presenters and the Artistic Director and Founder of the San Francisco International Arts Festival, Andrew Woods discuss the Autumn Season beginning this week with online and in person performances: October 20-24, 2021. Michael Gene Sullivan, playwright, joins us to talk about his latest work, The Great Khan, a collaboration between SF Mime Troupe and SF Playhouse opening Oct. 20 for an person and a recorded online production.  We close with a conversation with Adia Whitaker, Ase Dance Theatre Collective, 2018 production of her "Have (K)no(w) Fear: A Blussical at ODC in SF. It was lovely (smile).
