Y3N KO
Baffour Kwasi Oben-Adjei
Y3N KO in Akan Twi translates as “let’s go”. We use these as words of encouragement, to remind ourselves to always push through the obstacles that present themselves. This piece celebrates this idea. The coming together to embrace ourselves as individuals and as a community through a western perspective in the new modern aspect of African Dance.
Act II
MillO Dance Projects
Act II is a piece built on platonic intimacy and trust between two people. It explores how to stay under someone’s gaze without feeling pressure to act or change our own natural way of being. Through abstract narrative, choreographer Jarkko Mandelin aims to create a world that resonates with and comments on not only our society, but also our way of being.
Seeker
Serwaa Daley
Seeker is a journey of self. In exploring the idea of always searching for and needing to see another person, l realized I was running away from seeing myself. Seeking approval and validation from the opinions of others left me poisoned and empty on the inside. It was at rock bottom that I learned to stop running and finally see myself.
