Paloma McGregor

Dance artist Paloma McGregor

Thursday, February 13 (7pm to 9pm)

An evening with the founders of Ase Dance Theatre Collective, Dance Diaspora Collective and The Body Ecology Performance Ensemble, who have developed potent, virtuosic performance practices rooted in cultivating collectivism. In a field that is so often individualistic or product-driven, how and why are Rashida Bumbray, Ebony Noelle Golden and Adia Tamar Whitaker making contemporary performance work aligned with community building? Join us in experiencing their work and vision.

This event is free and open to the public. A photo ID is required to enter NYU buildings.
