SUMMARY:DANCE DIALOGUES - LUANDA PAU
DESCRIPTION:This lecture will delve into the vibrant Afro-Cuban culture\, exploring its roots in Yoruba traditions from West Africa\, specifically Nigeria. Transplanted to Cuba during the 19th-century slave trade\, Yoruba culture has been remarkably preserved through religious and cultural practices. \nThe lecture will focus on three key pillars that contribute to the richness and diversity of Afro-Cuban culture: \n\nStorytelling through Song: We will explore the historical narrative of the Yoruba beliefs in the Orishas through traditional songs and chants.\nMusic as a Representative Pillar: Participants will experience the central role of music in Afro-Cuban culture\, engaging with various rhythms for different divinities (spirits or deities) in the Yoruba religion (LIVE MUSIC).\nDance as Expression We will delve into the art of Afro-Cuban dance\, where movements and pantomimes convey historical narratives and cultural expressions.\n\nThese three pillars are interconnected and inseparable. \nParticipants will enhance their musical ear and memory through rhythmic exercises and song learning\, while having the opportunity to observe and experience Afro-Cuban dance movements\, connecting with cultural expressions through their bodies. \nThis event is sold out\, please contact info@serendipity-uk.com or call 0116 482 1394 for any additional ticket releases.

SUMMARY:BALLET HISPÁNICO: CARMEN.maquia
DESCRIPTION:BOOK NOW \nT: 0116 242 3595\nE: tickets@curvetheatre.co.uk\nW: curveonline.co.uk \n\nAge guidance: 13+\nRunning time: Approximately 1 hour and 35 minutes (including a 15 minute interval)\nShow warnings: Themes of murder and death\n  \nBallet Hispáncio return to Curve for Let’s Dance International Frontiers 2025 (LDIF25) with their electrifying reimagining of CARMEN.maquia\, a contemporary take on Bizet’s beloved classic.  The physically charged and sensual choreography fuses contemporary dance with nods to the Spanish paso doble\, flamenco and movement of the Latin American Diaspora.  The full-length work is choreographed by Gustavo Ramírez Sansano\, whose work\, 18+1\, featured as part of Ballet Hispánico’s repertoire at LDIF22 \nBallet Hispánico was founded in 1970 by Tina Ramirez – challenging iconic representations and exposing the joy and celebration to be found in Latinidad. Today\, it is the largest Latin American cultural organisation in the United States and one of America’s Cultural Treasures. Eduardo Vilaro joined Ballet Hispánico as a company dancer in 1985\, becoming the organisation’s second Artistic Director in 2009 and CEO in 2015.  Vilaro has built on Ramirez’s impact: expanding and deepening a legacy showcasing the depth of Latin American cultures and exposing the intersectionality found in the Diaspora. \nLed by Serendipity Institute for Black Arts and Heritage\, LDIF25 celebrates its fifteenth anniversary with a rich programme exploring the theme Intersection: Diasporic Dialogues. The programme features trailblazing dancers and companies who have forged new movement vocabularies and championed the voices of the African\, African Caribbean and Latin American Diasporas. \n“An experience unlike any other in the Latin dance space we’ve seen in quite some time…. CARMEN.maquia continues to haunt us in the most beautiful way.” – Latina Magazine \n  \n \n \n \n \n \n  \n  \n
