Resistance, memory, and love drive Les ecailles de la memoire (The scales of memory), a penetrating movement treatise exploring the convergence of African and U.S. history. Bryn Mawr is honored to present the women's section from this collaboration between Germaine Acogny, a legend in her native Senegal, and Jawole Willa Jo Zollar's all-female Brooklyn-based Urban Bush Women. In addition, Acogny will dance her new solo "Songook Yakaar" and Pape Ibrahima Ndiaya (Kaolack), her star male dancer, will present "J'Accuse" which took first prize in the 2008 Danse Afrique Danse Concours. Tickets will be available at the door. Venue: Goodhart Hall Bryn Mawr 19010Website: http://www.urbanbushwomen.org/tour.html |
