Jakarta (Antara Bali) - The U.S. Department of State announced Monday that Indonesian performance artists Nan Jombang will travel to communities across America as part of a groundbreaking cultural diplomacy initiative, Center StageSM, from September 21-October 14, 2012.
The tour will take Nan Jombang to Washington, DC; Providence, RI; New York, NY; and Los Angeles, CA, the US embassy said in a press statement there Tuesday.
Center StageSM brings performing artists from Haiti, Indonesia, and Pakistan to the United States to engage American audiences in 60 medium and small-sized towns and cities.
On Monday, Nan Jombang was scheduled to perform at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington D.C. The performance was free and open to the public, as well as broadcasted live.
Center StageSM builds on Secretary State Hillary Rodham Clinton's vision of "smart power" -which embraces the full range of diplomatic tools, in this case the performing arts, to bring people together and foster greater understanding.(IGT/T007)
