Next we have an interview with Raphael Russier, company member of Companhia Urbana de Danca from Rio de Janiero, Brazil at YBCA tonight and tomorrow night. Raphael has been dancing since he was a child. Against his mother's will he would sneak out of the house each week and walk for an hour to get to dance classes. She was just worried that he would not be able to support himself. Now that he is successful, she is so proud of him. Shows are Friday-Saturday, at YBCA Forum at 8 p.m. Friday night there is a post-performance conversation. Visit http://www.ybca.org/companhia-urbana-de-dan%C3%A7a
We close with a rebroadcast of the interview from Wednesday, March 12, 2014, with activists Colette Winlock, Lola Hanif and Lady Sunrise. They are speaking about Fracking and why Oaklanders should get on the bus for Sacramento Saturday at 9:30 a.m. We ran out of time.
