Abstract:
Judy Mitoma developed expertise in Javanese dance through study in dance ethnology at UCLA, then established the UCLA World Arts and Cultures Department, which widened beyond a Euro-American focus. She became a major producer of Asia-Pacific performance in Los Angeles, developed the intercultural training program Asia Pacific Performance Exchange, and continues to use performance to teach cultural literacy and understanding.
