Take Root with Bassam Abou Diab

Live performances return to Green Space, kicking off the Take Root series with an excerpt from Valerie Green/Dance Entropy's “HOME” project, culminating a residency with visiting choreographer Bassam Abou Diab from Lebanon. The evening will also feature Diab's solo work "Eternal," and a post performance Q/A. In addition to the performance, the evening will include live Lebanese Music with Richard Khuzami on Percussion and Maurice Chedid on Oud, Pre & Post Show.

"HOME" is an international collaboration with choreographers from Sweden, India, Burkina Faso, Colombia and Lebanon. Each artist examines the concept of home from their own unique perspective, drawing upon the significance of this idea from their home country, as well as factors including culture, upbringing, economics, politics, and personal identity. Five Choreographers are invited to NYC in 5 phases to work with the dancers in 10-day intensives at Green Space.
