Contemporary African Women Choreographers at The Dance Center

Voices of Strength: A Program of Contemporary Dance and Theater by Women from Africa will be presented at The Dance Center (1306 S. Michigan Ave.) on September 13th-15th.

Voices of Strength is a two-program “mini-festival” celebrating the stylistic diversity and talent of contemporary dance and theater by women from Africa. From dance rooted in tradition, to cutting edge performance that makes satirical use of classical conventions, the five choreographers employ humor, irony, poignancy and power to reference personal obstacles as well as political and social themes, as they articulate women’s struggles toward empowerment.

"Correspondances pushes the boundaries of theatre and dance, mixing elements of both forms until it shatters the very idea of form itself.” – NYTheatre.com

[of Madame Plaza] "the complex mixture of longing, regrets, hopes and frustrations [speaks] to an understanding of friendship and female solidarity which will be immediately recognizable to everyone."
