Join founder and director of Dunya Performing Arts Company, Jeannine Osayande, for a creative and rhythmic evening inspired by the powerful works of “Jerrell Gibbs: No Solace in the Shade.” Get ready to groove in this workshop and connect through synchronized moves, soulful music, haiku poetry, and fun social bonding to create your own Friendship Choreo-Poem. Participants will learn dance traditions like Sanko, Flex, Lights Camera Action, and Blow the Whistle, and further explore how rhythm can be used when working with communities.

All materials will be provided, and no experience is necessary. Light snacks will be available and BYOB is encouraged.

The museum galleries will open at 5:30. At 6:00 pm there will be a brief art discussion in one of our galleries for inspiration, followed by the workshop beginning at 6:15 pm.

If you have any questions, please reach out to Educator of Adult and Community Programs, Bailey Gamberg, at bgamberg@brandywine.org or (610) 388-8120.
