December 31, 2012
The Pinedale Fine Arts Council is proud to present the Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Ensemble performing live Friday, January 11 at 7 p.m. in the Pinedale Auditorium.
The January 11 performance will feature a number of contemporary dance works including "Fusion" by Haitian choreographer Jeanguy Saintus. "Fusion" enduces parallels of border tensions and cultural clashes in this hemisphere contrasted by profound acts of compassions and love.
Cleo Parker Robinson Dance is an international, cross-cultural, dance-arts and educational institution rooted in African American traditions. Guided by the vision of Cleo Parker Robinson, the ensemble has traveled to more than 20 countries, presenting an explosive body of work inspired by the African American experience and rooted in black dance traditions, according to a release. For 30 years, the ensemble has presented healing art through dance and education.
Based in Denver, the Cleo Parker Dance has been featured in more than ten productions between the Colorado Symphony Orchestra and Opera Colorado. As a National Cultural Treasure, the ensemble tours nationwide throughout the year and has performed in New York City’s Lincoln Center, American Dance Festival, The Kennedy Center, The Joyce Theater, MOJA Festival and Jacob’s Pillow.
