On Saturday, October 18, 2025, at the Culver City Art Walk & Roll Festival, we transformed the public space into a vibrant interactive performance food truck experience. Directed by our Artistic Director Raymond Ejiofor, we invited audiences to step into the role of diners, choosing from a playful menu of dancing dishes performed live by our company dancers and musicians. Guests could “order” selections such as the Romantic Platter or the House Salad with Tango Dressing. Each performance offered its own unique flavor, witty, surprising, and deliciously human, expressed through our signature blend of creativity, spontaneity, and community engagement.
Rooted in collaboration with local Latino voices, ¡ORDENA! Culver City centered the stories, traditions, and cultural richness of the neighborhood. By transforming a public space into a site of gathering and celebration, we fostered connection through shared experience, nourishing the soul through movement, music, and storytelling. This performance reflects our ongoing mission to uplift community narratives and celebrate cultural inclusivity.
