Corpus Criolla

Faizah Grootens

Dancers: Jordan Achiano

In Corpus Criolla, Faizah takes on the embodiment and stereotypes that are often associated with these Creolized dance forms. By reflecting on current issues such as identity, stereotyping, tradition, colonialism, and social idealism, Corpus Criolla prompts us to think deeply about the relationship between form and content. With its infinite circular movements, polyrhythmic beats, and a natural flow that a Creole body can bring, this performance is not to be missed.
