SUMMARY:Flying Under the Radar\, in Collaboration with Kiandanda Dance Theater & Bahiya Movement\, Presents: Symbiosis
DESCRIPTION:Flying Under the Radar\, in collaboration with the Red Poppy Art House\, presents three nights of international performance featuring Symbiosis (directed by Kiandanda Dance Theater & Bahiya Movement) on April 21\, The Supplicants – Celestial Frequencies on April 22\, and As Três Meninas (curated by Derek Lassiter) on April 23. \nKiandanda Dance Theater (directed by Byb Chanel Bibene) and Bahiya Movement (directed by Afia Thompson) present Symbiosis\, a shared evening of performance featuring recent dance projects: Weighted Acceptance and Nkisi Nkondi. Each choreographer presents work that speaks about a part of their identity\, a self-reconnection to their past and present stories. Both pieces will be presented\, followed by a Q&A and the sharing of soup. Come join this wonderful evening of food\, dance\, and insightful discussion.\n \nAbout the Pieces:\nNkisi Nkondi by Kiandanda Dance Theater\nThe body memory of the myths\, facts and stories behind the Nkisi Nkondi statue\, a medium between the visible and the invisible world\, between humans and divinities in the culture of the Kongo people. This project examines the lost values of justice\, healing\, sacred medicines and divine protection and human connection that the Nkisi Nkondi represented in the central African society.\nWatch a clip of Nkisi Nkondi here. \nWeighted Acceptance by Bahiya Movement\nCollectively we all carry our own and each other’s weight(s). Through words and movement\, we learn to accept the weight of who we are as we move through the world.\nPreview a performance by Bahiya Movement here. \nAbout the Directors:\nByb Chanel Bibene is a choreographer and performer working in theater and contemporary dance. His own technical and aesthetic sensibility is rooted in the culture and dances of his country of origin\, the Republic of Congo. He has toured the world and performed internationally with companies and choreographers from Africa\, England\, France and the USA.
