Dear Friends,
Springtime in New England is most certainly a time of transition and motion.
Motivated by this spirit of change and movement, we jump at the chance to tell you about Far…, the upcoming solo performance of French choreographer Rachid Ouramdane.
Revolving around the ideas of identity, culture, and conflict, Far… is inspired by Ouramdane's trip to Vietnam and Cambodia, where his father had fought in the 1950's as an Algerian conscript in the French army.
On Monday, April 14, 2008, the Cultural Services of the Embassy of France announced at the Payne Whitney Mansion in New York 'French Dance Spring', a new special event bringing nine French and American organizations together in an unprecedented homage to French contemporary dance.
