CENTER STAGE: THE FIRST 2 SEASONS

NEFA's groundbreaking public diplomacy initiative, Center Stage, tours contemporary performing artists from abroad, showcasing compelling voices whose explorations of the new and revitalizations of the traditional, are true reflections of the societies in which they live.

So far, the program has brought artists from Haiti, Indonesia, Morocco, Pakistan, Vietnam to stages and communities across the US. You'll find more about the artists, their art forms, and the tours in our new publication.

Stay tuned for this summer when we will announce ensembles from Algeria and Tanzania for touring in June-December 2016. Read more.
