Highlights

Bali Art Festival Performance

During the summer of 2024, Arcinda was invited to perform at the Bali Art Festival in Indonesia for the second time. We have collaborated with local groups and universities to bring together a performance that tells the story of Arjuna and Srikandi. We are thankful for the invitation, and hope to continue promoting culture to Colorado, Bali, Indonesia and beyond!
