6:30 - 7:30pm Percussive Dance at Awbury Arboretum featuring The Lady Hoofers & Usiloquy Dance Designs Awbury Arboretum 1 Awbury Road Philadelphia, PA 19138 |
The Lady Hoofers Tap Ensemble and Usiloquy Dance Designs, both Philadelphia-based dance companies comprised of all-women, will present a split bill program featuring rhythm tap and Indian classical dance Bharatanatyam. These two percussive dance forms are very different, but share a common emphasis on footwork and rhythm. Both are also historically excluded and underrepresented art forms in the US. The 60 minute performance set will include interspersed performances by both companies, audience interaction, and will be followed by a talkback with Artistic Directors Kat Echevarria Richter (The Lady Hoofers) and Shaily Dadiala (Usiloquy).
This performance is free to the public; donations will be accepted on site via cash or Venmo. This event is sponsored in part by the City of Philadelphia's Neighborhood Arts Programs series through the Office of Arts, Culture, and Creative Economy.
Usiloquy Dance Designs creates traditional and cross-cultural productions of Indian classical dance Bharatanatyam and conducts educational programs. Usiloquy uses the ancient vocabulary of Bharatanatyam to create works of cross-cultural content. It pushes traditional Bharatanatyam with universal influences in music, narration and costumes. It was founded in 2008 by Artistic Director Shaily Dadiala to serve the Greater Philadelphia area’s need for an Indian Classical dance platform. Usiloquy builds bridges between diverse audience communities and the age-old dance form that originated in the temples of Southern India.
