Perform 15.3
This annual “Perform” issue allows us to move beyond our beloved visual arts to the performing arts, with profiles of dancer Alyssa Aguilar and founder and artistic director of Simorgh Dance Collective, Farima Berenji. Also, as a football (soccer) fan, I am happy to highlight a creative player of the beautiful game, seventeen-year-old rising San Jose Earthquake, Niko Tsakiris. Whether we are aspiring actors, painters, dancers, or footballers, we all perform creative activities that express who we are.
