Celebrando 2005 - Loiza Viva
PRFDance with William Cepeda & AfroBoricua
This year's Celebrando 2005 season project featured master artists
William Cepeda and AfroBoricua, and focused on the rich folklore of Loiza.
Our project included a week-long
master-level workshop
on Bomba dance, percussion rhythms, and songs unique to Loiza,
as well as the traditions that celebrate the Festival of Santiago Apostal.
Our Musicos enjoyed learning complex traditional and experimental music written by William Cepeda. Our Dancers put our acting skills to
work for our presentation of the games and traditional songs of the Baquine.
Our season project culminated in a joint performance with PRFDance, William Cepeda, and AfroBoricua on June 25-26, 2005 at the State Theatre in downtown Austin
and featured both traditional and experimental styles of music and dance.
Enjoy these photos from our performance, as well as
a season of activities
that prepared for this event.
