Join premier Los Angeles-based company Heidi Duckler Dance for an engaging salon series featuring renowned choreographer and dancer Jasmine Albuquerque.
As we enter the Year of the Wood Snake—a symbol of renewal and transformation—this salon invites us to reflect on our ability to adapt. From the rise of robotics and AI to the challenges of climate change and wildfires, how do we embrace change, shed old patterns, and reconnect with our innate ability to heal, much like the graceful and resilient snake?
The night begins with compelling dance performances by B Gosse, and Maija Knapp and then featured work by Jasmine Albuquerque. The evening continues with a special screening of Liquid Light—a stunning short film by Lita Albuquerque, filmed in Bolivia in 2018. Adding to the night’s artistic depth, Nandi Zulu will share her evocative poetry.
Don’t miss this dynamic evening of artistry, dialogue, and reflection.
