Evolution Solo Weekend

another month of online regular lectures dedicated to African-American dance and performance history starts today!

three months past, we go on learning more about the history of African-American social dance and sociopolitical context it was born and shaped in. this month we are dedicating to studying more about the key personalities of Harlem Renaissance, the "jazz age" and philosophy, music, dance and art created in the environment of 1920s.
of course, there is never enough to learn and all the gaps are impossible to be filled out, but we keep on proceeding, slowly, step by step, doing our work in self-education and awareness.

lectures are held by Alina Sokulska, and you can join our community here:

"Я не против вот так раз в год выступать на стадионе, но, если честно, я все же лучше буду для 45 человек играть.

Не умею писать такую музыку, чтобы ее слушали по радио дома. Придумать три ноты, которые все будут петь, типа «ммм, Данон» — совсем не так просто, как кажется. Я пробовал, не получается."

Интервью с Dennis Adu

KATACULT — Деннис Аду: Не знаю, что это за музыка, но она отличная МЕДИА О МУЗЫКЕ, ВЕЧЕРИНКАХ, КОНТРКУЛЬТУРЕ И ВСЕМ, ЧТО НЕ ПОНРАВИТСЯ ТВОЕЙ МАМЕ.

Only now I realize 2018 is over... And waking up! I can’t express all the feelings I have about everything what happened but can truly say that every year a gathering of the dearest people from all over the world gives me so much energy that despite all the difficulties I appear to run I say: “f*ck it, we gonna make it again.” This year I felt support from every friend and deeply grateful for that.

Artists. The best in the world. .martinez25 🖤 I miss you so much! .defrantz I could never dream you will sign my books on our festival 😜 So much knowledge and deep wisdom from all of you, a mentor’s support and belief. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 .
