Acts of Resistance, Acts of Joy

​Dance and music have been and continue to be a way to resist oppression, release joy, alleviate suffering collectively, all critical to human survival and built into the fabric of Cuban, Brazilian, Haitian, Afro-Peruvian, Puerto Rican cultures. CubaCaribe honors that celebration of joy is revolutionary and how living art forms evolve and respond to the changing world. 

 

June 7-9 at Dance Mission Theater 

WEEKEND 1: MIXED PROGRAM

Seven local dance companies will create original choreography rooted in the Caribbean and its Diaspora based on the curatorial vision-Acts of resistance, Acts of joy. These artists will explore and answer the questions- Where are the two acts visible in your culture? How do we resist? How do we find and express joy?
