Cultural Diplomacy Series: Ephrat Asherie & Arturo O'Farrill

Join the Sié Chéou-Kang Center for International Security and Diplomacy and the Newman Center for the Performing Arts as we welcome Ephrat Asherie and Arturo O’Farrill, co-creators of Ephrat Asherie Dance’s newest work, Shadow Cities.

This unique collaboration between b-girl and EAD Artistic Director Ephrat Asherie, and pianist and composer Arturo O’Farrill explores the relations between African American vernacular dance and jazz. Join us in conversation as we discuss the connections between underground club and street dance, Afro Latin music traditions, and modern jazz, as well as how art nurtures dialogue surrounding culture and heritage.

Ephrat Asherie Dance & Arturo O’Farrill will be performing Shadow Cities at the Newman Center on Thursday, February 19 at 7:30 PM. $15 student tickets are available here with DU log-in.

Light afternoon snacks and coffee/tea will be served. We'll see you there!
