KYR Episode 4: Cultural Appreciation vs. Appropriation

This week we dig a bit deeper than just movement itself. As dancers we are often find ourselves participating in cultures that may be considered another's lived experience, one that is bound to them to the core. This calls us to be thoughtful about how we move, speak, dress, and act within our dance community. We have the pleasure of having Dr. Arnel Calvario, founder of Kaba Modern and President of Culture Shock International, with us to improve our understanding of appreciation and appropriation, and to guide us in seeking further knowledge about the many different dance forms we'll be encountering on our individual dance journeys.
