The Digital Jeli is a digital collection of dance, drumming, and songs from the African diasporic dance community. This archive will enrich not only the lives of Detroiters but be a repository and resource for African dance worldwide.
Rule of Three is a programmatic approach that presents practical and theoretical concepts in threes; omne trium perfectum. It is said that ideas presented in threes are inherently more interesting, more enjoyable, and more satisfying. Whether, three lectures, master teachers, genres, or productions it encourages audiences to leave inhibitions and to tap into curiosity.
The Convening for Black Dance and Culture is a biennial event that marries scholarship, movement, and performance to create a conduit experience for participants to learn through, engage and connect with the wider dance community. It is the African Dance conference re-imagined.
