San Jose Taiko Su, Mar 2, 2008 /2pm/$14-$32*/ BUY Special pricing for children 12 and under
San Jose Taiko (SJT) was founded in 1973 by young Asian Americans searching for an outlet to convey their experiences as sansei, third generation Japanese Americans. Looking to Japan for inspiration, they were drawn to the empowering sounds of the taiko, the Japanese drum, an instrument that embodies the spiritual essence and heartbeat of Japanese culture. Weaving traditional Japanese sounds with other world rhythms – African, Latin, Balinese, American rock and jazz – SJT presents a contemporary sound that bridges diverse styles and resonates with the Asian soul in America.
In a joint presentation, Jill Eikenberry and Michael Tucker share their story about Eikenberry's own fears after being diagnosed with breast cancer and Tucker's reaction, as her spouse, to this life-threatening disease. Married for twenty years, Eikenberry and Tucker are accomplished actors best known for their roles on the 80's legal drama, "L.A.Law." Champions of early detection and increased awareness, Eikenberry and Tucker discuss the emotional aspects that come with this diagnosis and the ways to overcome this disease as a couple with humor and hope.
