February 2012

Friday, February 3rd @ 7:30pm

Rivers of Honey 

Movement of the People Dance Company is honored to join Rivers of Honey once again in their first Friday's extravaganza of dynamic artistic visions. Their upcoming show, "Transformations, Transitions, Honoring Our Ancestors," will include an additional spiritual mediation and respect to: Oya. Oya guards the cemetery. She protects the souls of the departed, as they journey onward. She is the winds of change, warrior of great strength, transformation, hurricanes, death, progression, rebirth.

Join us as we present our new work-in-progress Vento da Memoria/Wind of Memory. This Afro/Afro-Brazilian fusion piece, inspired by the traditional movements of Iansã, addresses the tendency to settle into conformity, and the beauty that abounds once the stale air around us is disturbed propelling us into momentum.

MOPDC will be joined by Monica A. Hand (writer), Legacy Women (percussionists), Jennifer Lisa Vest (poet/philosopher), J Mase III (trans performance poet), Siaira Shawn (songstress), Piper Anderson (performance artist). Including: dance party with DJ Zena, dating game w/ host Shawn Smith.

Where: WOW Cafe Theater, 59-61 East 4th St. Btw 2nd Avenue & Bowery

Time: 7:30pm (doors open), 8:00pm (showtime)
