The Program
Ephrat Asherie Dance
Odeon (Excerpts)
Inspired by the music of early 20th-century composer Ernesto Nazareth, the unique and universally appealing choreography of Ephrat Asherie layers breaking, hip-hop, house and vogue to a buoyant mix of live classical romantic music and popular Afro-Brazilian rhythms with musical direction by Asherie's brother and collaborator, Ehud Asherie.
Parul Shah
Enduring Silence (Excerpts)
Drawing from the North Indian classical dance, Kathak, Enduring Silence takes inspiration from women and their ignored sorrows and resiliency that endure physical hardship and violence protected under the canopy of tradition.
Calpulli Mexican Dance Company
Mexika Tiawi! (Mexicans Onward!)
Roughly translated as "Mexicans Onward!" in the Náhuatl language, Mexika Tiawi! is a contemporary interpretation of ancient Aztec ritual dance by choreographers Noemy Hernandez, Daniel Jaquez and Alberto Lopez Herrera.
Dance Theatre of Harlem
Harlem on My Mind (Excerpts)
The world-famous Dance Theatre of Harlem uses music from the likes of Fats Waller, Duke Ellington and Wynton Marsalis to draw on a rich continuum of jazz and burst from the stage in a joyous and soulful ballet.
