Lacina Coulibaly Until the Lion tells the Story, there is no glory

Lacina Coulibaly was born in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. His professional dance career, deeply rooted in traditional dance, later merged with contemporary influences to create a uniquely choreographic expression. Lacina began his studies of contemporary conception with the choreographer Lassann Congo (studied at the acclaimed Mudras-Afrique, Senegal). In 1995, Lacina created the Cie Kongo Bâ Teria with Souleymane Badolo and Ousseni Sako. Their creations, Frères sans stèles (1999), Vin Nem (2001) et Hydou Bye (2004) toured the world and won international awards, including the award of 3rd place at SANGA, les Rencontres Choréographiques for Vin Nem (2001) which toured more than 30 cities in Europe and throughout the US on the Movement (R) Evolution tour. The documentary film Movement (R)Evolution Africa (2007), available from Documentary Educational Resources (der.org).

In Dec 2019 he created a performance for the opening ceremony of the festival Dialogue de Corps and presented his work “Sen Koro la”, an evocation of the sacrality of the Mask. His unique blend of traditional and modern influences results in dynamic intellectual and artistic processes that intrigue and inspire young artists, and audiences. He also set Sigini an analytical approach that emerged from learning, practicing and studying Dance in African and particularly in the West. A pedagogical approach that establishes three principles to design, sculpture, write movement through dance. He is currently guest lecturer at Yale University and Sarah Lawrence College.

BIOGRAPHY

jumatatu m. poe: I am a choreographer and performer based between land of the Tutelo-Saponi speaking peoples (Durham) and lands of the Lenape peoples (Philadelphia) who grew up dancing around the living room and at parties with my siblings and cousins. My early exposure to concert dance was through African dance and capoeira performances on California college campuses where my PanAfricanist parents studied and worked, but I did not start “formal” dance training until college with Umfundalai, Kariamu Welsh’s contemporary African dance technique. My work continues to be influenced by various sources, including my foundations in those living rooms and parties, my early technical training in contemporary African dance, my continued study of contemporary dance and performance, my movement trainings with dancer and anatomist Irene Dowd around anatomy and proprioception, my sociological research of and technical training in J-sette performance with Donte Beacham. Through my artistic work, I strive to engage

in and further dialogues with Black queer folks, create lovingly agitating performance work that recognizes History as only one option for the contextualization of the present, and continue to encourage artists to understand themselves as part of a larger community of workers who are imagining pathways toward economic ecosystems that prioritize care, interdependence, and delight.

Holland Andrews
unSurrendered JAN 15, 8PM
Created and performed by Holland Andrews

BIOGRAPHY

Holland Andrews (they/ them) is an American vocalist, composer, and performance artist whose work focuses on the abstraction of operatic and extended-technique voice to build soundscapes encompassing both catharsis and dissonance.

Andrews harnesses these instruments’ innate qualities of power and elegance to serve as a cohesive vessel for these themes. As a vocalist, their influences stem from a dynamic range including contemporary opera, theater, and jazz, while also cultivating their own unique vocal style which integrates these influences with language disintegration and vocal distortion. Andrews previously performed solo music under the stage name Like a Villain.

In addition to creating solo work, Andrews develops and performs soundscapes for dance, theater, and film, and their work is still toured nationally and internationally with artists

such as Bill T. Jones, Dorothee Munyaneza, Will Rawls, and poet Demian Dinéyazhi. Notable musical collaborations have been with composers and artists such as Son Lux, Christina Vantzou, William Brittelle, Peter Broderick, and is one of the first artist on releasing on the label Leiter, a Berlin-based record label spearheaded by composer, Nils Frahm. Andrews has gained recognition from publications such as The Wire, The New York Times, Electronic Sound, Uncut Magazine, Le Monde, and BBC Radio.
