paapa, me, and my azonto!

So a couple of months ago I had the opportunity of MCing a really great concert, and making a new cool friend. I co MCed the Ghana Music Global Entrepreneurship concert at Haverford. It was pretty amazing; I was able to see Soulfege perform again, Blitz the Ambassador was great, and so was Paapa, my new cool friend. Here's the video of an azonto remix of his song "Dear Grace". I make an appearance. Woot! *blushes*
Enjoy!



I'll be posting the video from my latest piece, [porcupines.] soon, but before that, here's my piece from this semester's Rhythm-N-Motion concert, co-choreographed with two friends (David and Kay):

 

-be.beautiful and fun!

i will be back, i promise...

I'm crazy busy. 6 classes and 2 audited classes. I know, I'm a mess. I'm working on two pieces, one about intimacy(and porcupines!), and another which is a co-choreographed Africa piece (which features Umfundalai, Kpanlogo, and Azonto).

Since I love sharing videos...

Here is an interview that gives a little more depth to what my intimacy piece is about:


Here is some Umfundalai, courtesy of Swarthmore (student dance concert, spring '09):


And here is my friend Okwase, killing it with the azonto at Princeton!:


-be."keep calm and azonto."

i've been away for a while...

Way too long...I got back into the country and went right back into running. My apologies. Hopefully time can slow down a little bit for me to post more often. I'll also be  changing up the look of the site soon too.

For now, enjoy one of my favorite YouTube videos (at least for the past month):




be.spring!

blame game

Galen Hooks is one of my favorite choreographers.Point blank period. Here's here short video to Blame Game by Kanye West.

ahhhh excited!

I finally figured out again how to save my videos of my choreography (and that of the amazing Professor F. Nii Yartey from Ghana)! Which means that I can FINALLY upload them to YouTube. Which means that anyone not from Swarthmore (or not at any of the dance events) can finally see my work. Woooooooo! Can you tell I'm excited?

More to come in a day or so!

-be.withfamily.

ebonic sololoquies/galen hooks.

I just fell in love with this blog, Ebonic Soliloquies. More on that later. I wanted to post this video by Galen Hooks here before I forget to share this amazingness!

Enjoy!
