Ageless Dailies: I'm Still Going As Far As I Can At 83 - Carmen De Lavallade
Carmen De Lavallade is living proof that beauty, grace, health, and general badass-ness can be a reality at 83-years-old. The dancer and choreographer proves that and more as the newest subject of StyleLikeU.com's "Ageless Dailies" video series. Here are a few more gems that will have you crushing on Carmen as well... 1. She basically discovered world renowned dancer/choreographer Alvin Ailey. Carmen met him in junior high school and encouraged him to switch from gymnastics to dance. The rest is (mind-blowing) history. 2. Being a fierce dancer runs in her family. Her cousin, the late Janet Collins, was the first black ballerina of the Metropolitan Opera. #BrownGirlsDoBallet 3. She is married to Geoffrey Holder, the two-time Tony Award-winning actor/dancer/costume designer, who is probably best known for playing the part of Punjab in the 1982 film version of "Annie." 4. The stunning red floral-printed dress she's wearing in the video is one of many ensembles that her husband has designed for her. Talk about marital bliss! 5. Carmen shows no signs of slowing down -- she's performing in a solo show called "As I Remember It" at the end of this month. Original article HERE |

Project Agent Orange Evening Length Show at Dixon Place
It is a story best told through movement as it is through the bodies of survivors that trauma due to chemical warfare continues to thrive. We are interested in the remnants that remain in the wake of war; how communities remember themselves and their histories; how we journey forward. Original score composed by Xinh Xo Dancers: KK Apple, April Dayok, Natalia Duong, Morgana Phlaum, Corinna Phillips, Kaley Pruitt, Maho Shimpo, Winnie Wong, and Krista Zegura Photos: Trang Tran |

MOHINI DEVI KALBELIYA - Kalyo Kood Padyo Mela
The story of Kalbeliyas is an example of how the changes in society and culture influence traditional musicians and their lifestyle. From a region of Barmer in Rajasthan origins a nomad tribe of Gypsies called Kalbeliyas, which were traditionally known as snake charmers. They used to remove serpents from houses and trade snake venom. Women used to accompany men on their way of trade from house to house, as they begged for alms while dancing and singing. They used to give public shows as well, which included various snake tricks. Indian Wildlife Protection Act of 1972 brought a ban on snake performances so Kalbeliyas had to transform their shows -- girls replaced snakes. Mohini Devi group -- representative of nowadays Kalbeliyas is an ensemble of about seven musicians who did not receive any formal education, but were instead learning music from an early age from their guru Kalunath Kalbeliya. They have gained international recognition and many of the dancers lived, performed and even taught this style abroad. In India Kalbeliyas are invited mostly for weddings, cultural programs and festivals. Mohini Devi group is also proficient at many other dances like Bhavai, Chari, Ghummar, Terah Taali and add on elements of fire shows and acrobatics in their performance. Spheres of Kalbeliyas act are divided: men plays instruments and women dance. The main instrument is Been -- an Indian woodwind instrument originally used to hypnotize snakes. It's both plaintive and seductive tones are accompanied by beats of Dhap and Dafli, creating very energetic and compelling rhythms. Dancers wear traditional black ankle-length skirt and top. Both are richly embellished with colorful strips and complemented with beautiful jewelry made from tiny pearls and silver hangings. Outfit completes a dupatta -- a long loose flowing stole pinned to dancers' heads. Kalbeliya dancers spinning fast, swaying their hips, swirling tassels and shawl can mesmerize viewer for long hours. |
