UCLA Center for Intercultural Performance
The UCLA Center for Intercultural Performance (CIP) is dedicated to performing arts research and experimentation that promote better understanding and appreciation across cultures. CIP's aim is to stimulate artistic practices that respond to the realities of our global environment. Situated in one of the country's major research universities, the work of CIP staff and affiliated faculty generally focuses on helping future leaders strengthen their ability to work in intercultural and interdisciplinary ways. An integral part of the UCLA School of Arts and Architecture and the Department of World Arts and Cultures, CIP has become a national and international resource with a special emphasis on international exchange, creative collaboration, research and publications, and film/video documentation.
The specific intention for the Water is Rising national tour is to marry, transform and expand the realm of audience understanding and appreciation to encompass an awareness for the environmental issues that Kiribati, Tokelau and Tuvalu now face. To fully realize the potential of this idea, CIP sought to not only collaborate across cultures, but also across interdisciplinary lines by forging a partnership with the UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability.
Foundation for World Arts
Foundation for World Arts (FWA) is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to creating long-lasting relationships between individuals, artists and organizations across Los Angeles to nurture cultural exchange, tolerance, understanding, and strengthen a deeper unity within the community through the arts. FWA is committed to peace, cultural understanding, and the need for universal responsibility. For over twelve years, FWA has brought together tens of thousands of people of diverse ethnic, religious and cultural backgrounds, including artists of all types, community and religious leaders, educators and students. The primary avenue through which FWA regularly accomplishes its goal is the triennial World Festival of Sacred Music. Water Is Rising is the Gala Concert of the 2011 World Festival of Sacred Music.
