Bridging the Gap: A Jazz Dance and Music Festival

Panel with Brandi Coleman, Kimberley Cooper, Lindsay Guarino, Monique Haley

What are the enduring values of jazz evident in the music and the dance?  What is the role of the audience in the conversation between musician, dancer, and observer?  Jazz dance artists Brandi Coleman, Kimberley Cooper, Lindsay Guarino and Monique Haley will share their individual and collective journeys “in the music,” and discuss how the visceral experience of jazz acts as an invitation to listen, share, and respond authentically and spontaneously.
