Around the Way Gurl: The Block Party
Engaging autoethnography and personal narrative to inspire movement and text, Around the Way Gurl explores the intersections of gender, intergenerational movement aesthetics, innate movement patterns, generational and community values, and Hip-Hop culture influence the artist's identity and the women from Bed-Stuy in the 1980s and 90s.
As a means of research for the development of Around the Way Gurl: The Block Party, Cheri will lead audiences in a multigenerational community dance workshop. Like the block parties of the 80s and 90s, participants can expect dance, music and fellowship in a casual but upbeat atmosphere. Take a trip down memory lane, wear your best styles from the decades, and come ready to move and have a good time. ALL generations and families are welcome. No dance experience needed.
Doors will open at 1pm. The workshop will take place form 1:30-3pm and conclude with a social hour.
Venue: Hi-ARTS
