  • Live Performance / Dance Works + Progress

    Dance Works + Progress

    Featured Choreographer: Ericka Squire

    Company: Ericka Squire//The Dance Company

    Moving Layers

    A modern dance work-in-progress is both raw and intense. The dancers move in and out of the space with rhythmic complexity and ballet-trained bodies. Story-tellers, each dancer delivers fluid articulations, urgency, and connection through isolation and stillness.

    The full work will premiere at the Kravis Center on June 16th.

    7-9pm
  • Jashua Sa-Ra, Poet and Performer

    Jashua Sa-Ra, Poet and Performer

    Jashua Sa-Ra is a father, an award-winning performance poet, author, playwright, event producer, host, lecturer, actor, educator, publisher, graphic designer, percussionist, and healer. It’s a lot to say! So, true to his unique style, Jashua created the term “communications artist” to describe the full scope of his work.  He brings a memorable and lively interactivity to audiences, born from genuinely connecting with participants. Community is the obvious goal every time he gets in front of a crowd.
