Doing Their Own Thing
The Fall concert is where Brown University dance students get to show their stuff in performance, choreography, and stage craft. Yes, this show is often ragged, and often has adult themes (and therefore is not child friendly), but is worth seeing for what some of the country's best young brains have created. Ashamu is a tiny theatre so get your tickets now, they are usually sold out before you get to the door.
Concert line-up
Do It
Choreographer: Sarah Filman
Because doing it softer, worse, slower, and weaker just doesn't really cut it.
Kish-Bish
Choreographer: Julia Vazquez, with help from Nandini Jayakrishna and Shruti Parekh
Kish-Bish (Hindi for mish-mash) is a piece that celebrates East-West cultural exchanges by combining South Asian and Western styles of music and dance in new and interesting ways. This piece was meant to be a lot of fun, so enjoy it!
Get Your Drink On
Choreographer: Tiffany Chen
The Chinese cup dance is a dance that is native to Inner Mongolia. After eating and drinking at a great feast, people would use the small wine glasses on the table, two in each hand, to dance and to make different sounds in an expression of happiness. This piece combines the movement of a Chinese cup dance with contemporary hip hop in a celebration of traditional and modern as well as east and west. It's a piece about transition, adaptation, and rice wine.
Guajiras Portrait
Choreographer: Patra Jongjitirat
Muksh

Maybe, You'll Save Me
Choreographer: Sofia Bengoa
And all the roads that lead to you were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
I don't know how
I said maybe, You're gonna be the one who saves me?
And after all, You're my wonderwall
Don't Tell Mama
Choreographer: Ashley Chung
A musical theater influenced jazz piece full of deception, scandal and threats. Don't worry though. It's not that serious. Welcome to the Kit Kat Klub and have a good time.
