Jenni Hong and Marcos Duran will perform a new version of "rewind" on April 21 & 23 (SAT) at 7:30PM, as part of the E-Moves 13 dance series at Harlem Stage.
Harlem Stage's critically acclaimed dance series enters its 13th season by exploring the future of dance with today's hottest emerging and evolving choreographers. Program B features the Evolving artist Soulemanye Badolo, from Burkina Faso, Africa. Our diverse emerging choreographers include Jenni Hong, Leslie Parker, Franklin Diaz and Marjani Forté.
"Rewind," a physically and emotionally charged dance duet about struggles with time and contingency during moments of regret, is made possible in part with public funds from the Manhattan Community Arts Fund, supported by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and administered by Lower Manhattan Cultural Council.
