Voices of Strength: Columbia College Dance

Dance by women from Africa.  We only saw one half of the program.  Mr. P was thumbs up for both parts, but Ms. S drew the line at the garbage bag down the throat in the second performance.

Correspondances: Kettly Noël (Haiti/Mali) and Nelisiwe Xaba (South Africa)
A lively, sophisticated duet that is part theater, part dance and part storytelling.  Noël and Xaba come together for a raucous conversation addressing the intimacy of friendship while exploring themes of race, culture and gender.

Quartiers Libres:  Nadia Beugre (Cote d’Ivoire)
One woman’s persistent pursuit to penetrate forbidden spaces and overcome real and perceived limitations to her freedom of expression.
