Dr. Yanique Hume Workshop
WACD | 2 p.m., Glorya Kaufman Hall
Yanique Hume presents a workshop titled, Afro-Atlantic Sacred Epistemologies: A Workshop in Movement. Hume’s choreographies and classes embody a hybrid synergy between vernacular and modern idioms that draws on her years of training in Afro-Caribbean dance, her intimate knowledge of the ritual and popular dances from her native Jamaica and Cuba, and her work with the modern dance companies L'ACADCO and Danza Caribe. Her own sacred/initiatory journey crosses several religious systems, including Bantu-Kongo and Yoruba-based traditions, which come together in her spirit-centered work. What emerges is a movement vocabulary that is both subtle and dynamic, and one that balances the duality of power within the feminine and masculine, the mundane and the divine.
This event is presented by the Department of World Arts and Cultures/Dance.
