add to outlook add to google calendar remind me
Traditional Future is a brilliant piece created by this powerful performer. The Artist Speaks through his articulate body. Kenyan born, Maasai artist, Fernando Anuang’a, arrives in Nanaimo to share his work and stories.
Anuang’a, an atypical dancer, an autodidact, is supported and inspired by the Maasai songs, ancestral memory, and vocal rhythmic power in his gestural vocabulary and his stark, stunning physical storytelling. His work explores the question of how to evolve Tradition towards Modernity without obliterating one’s tracks, without betraying one’s roots. His work calls on the collective memory, the oral memory. Traditional Future is loyal to the moran, the young warrior, and to the village land, as symbolic roots.
The evening features a dance film, produced by fashion designer, Pierre Cardin, revealing the artistic approach to evolving the work, Traditional Future.
An Audience to Artist Talk Back completes the evening.
While here, Anuang'a will teach a workshop (Maasai / Contemporary Dance fusion) and engage in a facilitated, public conversation with Dr. Sonnet L'Abbé at the Vault. See the website for details: CRIMSONCOASTDANCE.COM
