My Dance is Not a Hobby – Newton Moraes
“Dance is far more than a hobby for me—it’s a profound expression of my identity, personal journey, and deep connection to the world around me, informed by African Brazilian Spirituality and the love of those who shaped my path. At 63, I embrace dance as a powerful medium to explore my LGBTQ identity, navigate my struggles, and celebrate life’s transformative experiences, honoring both my past and present. Guided by legendary mentors and fueled by the unwavering love of my partner, my solo performances honor resilience, connection, and the transformative power of dance.” – Newton Moraes
Sand Body – Jasad Dance
“I see you. You see me. We see objects and their shapes; the marks and traces of the object.
We listen, make decisions and feel our surroundings. Perhaps we also feel the spaces between
us. We share a sonic, visual and textural experience, together, for a few moments here and
now.” – Meryem Alaoui of Jasad Dance
Tickets: $25
