About the Event:
GROUNDATION – Dancing from the Archives brings a collection of West African traditional dances and Jamaican folk dances, that represent social, ritual, and religious rites. These dances are the foundation of the movement language/style of IRIE! dance theatre. Each dance relays a journey or cultural shift in African and Caribbean history, thereby guarding the stories for us now and those that are yet to come.
Bringing together live music and dance, the two new pieces from Groundation – Dancing from the Archives demonstrate resilience, beauty, and energy in Dance of the African Diaspora while communicating the storytelling and amplifies the nuances echoed in African and Caribbean culture.
