SUMMARY:Cuban Salsa Workshop Begins
DESCRIPTION:Cuban Salsa\n6-week series \nLearn Cuban Salsa with Sandy Perez \nAll levels welcome\, no experience or partner necessary. \n$75 for all 6 lessons\, $15 single class \nREGISTER ONLINE \n  \nBIO: Sandy Perez was born in Matanzas\, Cuba in el barrio de la marina\, the marina neighborhood.  As the poorest location in Matanzas\, la marina overflows with cultural and spiritual riches.   Sandy is a descendant of the Villamil family and was raised amongst them playing sacred drums for the African deities and spirits in familial ceremonies.  His gift was quickly recognized by family\, community and spirits alike and at the age of 16 gained his artistic position with Grupo Afrocuba de Matanzas\, a cultural institution representing the varied and rich genres of afro-cuban folklore worldwide. \nSandy’s first international gig was with Cuban modern artist Manuel Mendive in 1996\, travelling to Brazil with Cuban akpon (ceremonial lead singer) Lazaro Ros. There they melded art\, culture\, spirituality and music\, joining the diasporic nations of Brazil and Cuba and discovering near lost connections. Before leaving Cuba\, he toured Europe with Afrocuba\, and later with experimental jazz musician Steve Coleman. \nIn 1999 he emigrated to the US and began teaching from coast to coast. He has played and recorded with countless musicians through many genres including Yosvany Terry\, Steve Coleman\, Miguel Anga\, Daphnis Prieto\, Olodum\, los Munequitos de Matanzas\, Pedrito Martinez- the list goes on and on. \nIn more recent years he has performed and presented at many Universities and museums including Harvard University\, Humboldt State University\, CSU Davis\, Berklee College of Music\, Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery\, Peabody Essex Museum and the Rubin Museum of Art to name a few. \nSandy is a living lexicon of the language of the drum. His hands tell the sacred stories of his profound ancestry. His existence preserves these deep roots as he forges meaningful artistic connections crossing all boundaries of race\, nationality and language.

SUMMARY:Souvenir
DESCRIPTION:Souvenir: Foreign Expressions of Japan\nan evening of art and performance featuring work by: \nCasey Buckles (film) \nSara June and Max Lord (butoh/sound) \nMidori Gleason (visual art) \nWilliam Gleason (Aikido demo) \nCarrie J. Preston (Modern Noh) \n$15 at the door or online \nBios: \nLord and June: Max Lord and Sara June have been making performances together since 2006. As Lord and June\, they have presented improvisational duets\, site-sensitive durational performance works\, and historically informed visual-sound installations\, often in unique locations. Recent works include Peacock\,  a commission by the Boston University Art Galleries for performance alongside the internationally acclaimed Hiroshima Panels by Japanese artists Iri and Toshi Maruki\, and Heron\, a movement sound work created to interact with Japanese Artist Fujiko Nakaya’s large-scale fog sculptures installed as part of her FOG x Flo exhibition in Boston’s Emerald Necklace. http://www.lordandjune.com/ \nWilliam Gleason is the American author of two books about aikido\, spirituality and kototama. He holds the rank of 7th dan in aikido and is the founder and head instructor of Shobu Aikido in Somerville\, MA. Gleason teaches seminars worldwide.  http://www.shobu.org/ \nCarrie J. Preston is a writer\, performer\, and the Arvind and Chandon Nandlal Kilachand Professor of English and Gender Studies and Director of Kilachand Honors College at Boston University. Her works include the noh-inspired play Zahdi Dates and Poppies (world-premiere 2016) and Learning to Kneel: Noh\, Modernism\, and Journeys in Teaching (2016).\n\nCasey Emmet Buckles:  Having started with writing in the later years at GHS\, I moved onto digital filming in the past year.  My concepts are born in colors  which made writing a long process filled with self doubt.  The time and flow of visual/audio presentation has freed what had been restrained by constant writing re-edits.  The presence of mind and its awareness in environment is what I want to share with those who view my work.

SUMMARY:KANASSU
DESCRIPTION:KANASSU\, THE CRAZY ONE: AN AFRICAN MULTIMEDIA CHOREOPOEM\nFebruary 29\, 4pm and 7:30pm\n\nTickets: $25   BUY NOW\n\n\n\nKanassu\, The Crazy One: An African Multimedia Choreopoem is an hour-long dance performance piece choreographed and directed by Senegal-born\, US-based artistic director Papa Sy in his original style of West African contemporary dance. Papa Sy inserts decades of expertise in contemporary and modern dance techniques to the diversity of West Africa in which he grew up. Through multiple manifestations of “crazy\,” ranging from denunciations of greed\, corruption\, colonization\, catastrophe\, and urgency\, the performance explores the question of craziness and belonging—what do we name as crazy\, and what kind of everyday craziness do we accept without question?\n\n\n\n\n\nDancers: Tasha\, Scynthia\, Anthony\, Maya\, Cha Cha\, Harolyn\, Olive\, Lola\, Darya\, Yosi\, Papa
