Designed to reach new audiences and bring together diverse corners of the East Bay dance scene the program features short works by A XIS Dance Company, Diablo Ballet, Jubilee American Dance Theater, Savage Jazz Dance Company, the Milissa Payne Project and Quicksilver Dance. Given Oakland Ballet’s storied history, stepping into a leadership role seems natural, but it’s only in recent years that the company has regained the resources to seize the initiative. Diablo Ballet artistic director and co-founder Lauren Jonas spent some of her prime years as a ballerina at Oakland Ballet during the era when company founder Ronn Guidi revived a series of seminal Diaghilev ballets. Attending last year’s 50th anniversary program, she was thrilled to see that history center stage, while recognizing Lustig’s commitment to the future.

But what about Durant’s mood? A KNBR reporter witnessed Durant exiting the game and expressing his frustrations about the state of the Warriors with pretty raw emotions. "Stupid as motherf—ing game we playing. We need to be playing championship level basketball.". — Sam Hustis (@SamHustis) March 11, 2019. That episode revealed two things. It was just the latest of Durant being in a bad mood in the past month. After the Knicks traded Kristaps Porzingis to Dallas on, Durant avoided reporters for eight days. Since then, Durant has not been as engaged with the media with either testy or short answers.

Although classmates have described Madlangbayan as quiet and reserved, cousin Khing Madlangbayan said she was really into Filipino folk dancing with the Aloha Club at Freedom, learning Korean phrases, taking selfies with friends, dressing in all pink clothes, watching Korean drama shows and becoming a professional chef one day. “It is fun to go back and think about the memories,” Khing Madlangbayan said. “She is gone now, but she will never be forgotten.”. Even though Madlangbayan was new to this country after emigrating here in September 2014, she was excited to make new friends at both Delta Vista, where she attended eighth grade, and later at Freedom. According to her cousin, Madlangbayan was thrilled that her parents allowed her to attend her eighth grade dance at Delta Vista.
