Crow Collection Welcomes Orizon for "After Dark" Dance and Vocal Performance


With Choreography by Micaela Brigida, performance by members of Orizon, and lighting by Dallas Light and Sound... patrons at the Crow Collection Museum of Asian Art were treated to a pair of memorable performances at After Dark. After Dark takes place on the third Friday of each Month, and consists of Asian art and culture unlike anything on the globe. February 2014 saw interpretive dance and a vocals in front of this facade of a residence constructed of red sandstone in Rajasthan-style from the Mughal Period. It was a pleasure and privilege to light both the performers and this historic artifact.

Orizon is a community of ONE, like a spirit that strives to unite many cultures of one mind and heart as a reflection of our ancestors. It celebrates the unique gifts and talents of the Orizon community by giving back to what matters 'Living Life to the Fullest' as whole & complete.

The Trammell and Margaret Crow Collection of Asian Art is a museum dedicated to the arts and cultures of China, Japan, India and Southeast Asia, located in downtown Dallas, Texas (USA). The Crow Collection opened to the public on December 5, 1998, as a gift to the people and visitors of Dallas from Mr. and Mrs. Trammell Crow. The museum is a member of the Dallas Arts District.
