Photos from Breaking The Fast - November 15, 2003

Mmmmmmm Hmmmmmm!!! The potluck dinner was nothing short of incredible! People enjoyed food from all over the world while performers entertained us all.

During dinner, Kevin Higa (left picture) led a performance of his 9-11 Bell Piece, with many artists and community members playing alongside...

After dinner, the crowd moved back outside into the courtyard, where Nobuko and the choir led everyone in song and dance for the rest of the evening.

Once people moved outside, candles were passed out to everyone, and an immense circle dance began to move around the courtyard.

The rest of the night was filled with laughing, drumming, singing, talking, dancing, and having an amazing time getting to know each other. A great ending to a powerful event!

On November 15, 2003, Great Leap, Nikkei for Civil Rights and Redress, Muslim Public Affairs Council, and Senshin Buddhist Temple presented "Breaking the Fast." As part of the festivities, Nobuko and several community artists and activists got together to produce "Sacred Moon Songs," a choral-poem / work-in-progress.
