Date:

Time:
4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Venue:
The Watermill Center

Álvaro Restrepo will develop a performance/ritual during his residency. The project will involve members of the Shinnecock Nation, and will be based on a massive ceremony he created in 2010 in his native country of Colombia to honor the victims of internal displacement: INXILE, a collaborative ceremony between El Colegio del Cuerpo and the Shinnecock Nation

Álvaro Restrepo and Marie France Delieuvin (co founder of El Colegio del Cuerpo – eCdC- The School of the Body) and the 8 dancers of La Compañia Cuerpo de Indias will interact with participants of the Shinnecock community, as well as other members of the Hamptons’ population, through workshops, master classes, open rehearsals, etc. Restrepo often refers to the 18 year-old eCdC, based on Cartagena de Indias in Colombia, as a four-legged animal: artistic, educational, social and political, having Nature as/in the heart of their creature/institution.
