Remember Bombazo Dance Co. is working hard to raise funds to tour Puerto Rico and New Orleans please see text below:
Bombazo is a non-profit dance company, who's mission is to showcase choreographies that have been influenced and inspired by traditional folkloric elements drawn from our history as Americans and as Latinos. Taking those main ingredients and mixing them with classical, contemporary and social styles of dance, thus creating a new movement vocabulary; yet still preserving the autenticity of our culture.
As choreographer and artistic director, I want audiences to experience how a simple element can be taken to new heights and beyond. And to further enrich the knowledge of all who come and support our dance concerts, within the universal language of dance! We have been invited by EL Corralon de San Jose, a beautiful theater in the heart of Old San Juan to showcase LERO in Puerto Rico and at Congo Square Festival in New Orleans Louisiana both in 2014. LERO is a beautiful story between two lovers, who have been taken away from their land, stripped away from their culture and traditions from Africa, and taken away to strange unfamiliar lands. Separated from each other, they both fight against odds to find one another thru the help of their Ancestors. With the fusion of Contemporary dance with West African and Bomba, this evening length work, originated back in 2003 which served as my thesis and since then, I have showcased and developed the movement to the work that it is now! This production has had two very successful runs with full house at Casita Maria Center for Arts Education and at Pregones Theater this year!Now my dream to share it with both my roots: Puerto Rico and New Orleans, is beyond rewarding! The company has 8 wonderful professional dancers and 10 amazing drummers all well knowledged in African, Haitian and Bomba drumming. Your contributions, will help with rehearsal space, transportation in both Puerto Rico & new Orleans, air fare, Theater fee's (Ligthing and sound engineer), will allow for proper documentation, video & professional Photography. Via this site, our Facebook page and website, you will have an insight view of the rehearsal process, follow the process in Puerto Rico and in NOLA in addition mention of your name as a contributor on both our playbill for both performances. Your contributions will help a wonderful group of Artists who love to dance, share their passion and roots with this, our very first tour!!!
