STREET DANCE ORIXÁS PERFORMANCE @ A+P

September 19, 2023
7:00 – 8:00 p.m.

In Collaboration With

California African American Museum

Street Dance Orixás performed at Art + Practice from Amy "Catfox" Campion on Vimeo.

Join us for a live performance in conjunction with the new exhibition, Bahia Reverb, part of our five-year collaboration with California African American Museum. These captivating dance duets celebrate the orixás (spirits) of Brazilian Candomblé: Exu, Ogum, Iansã, Xangô, Oxum, Oxóssi, and Iemanjá, with one dancer performing the traditional Afro-Brazilian movement vocabulary version and a second dancer portraying a contemporary street dance version of the same orixá.

This program will take place in Art + Practice’s Public Program space at 4334 Degnan Boulevard, Leimert Park.
