Together with dancers from the University of Florida, the NWSA dancers will offers the exhilarating 3-day World Dance Celebration showcase, where NWSA College and high school dancers perform to the beat of live drums and recorded music and features choreographic works from contemporary world modern dance to traditional African dance. Among the work that will be presented this year is Peter London’s THE WOMEN OF PICASSO (2011) a dramatic and deeply moving work of haunting beauty and lament. Conceived in collaboration with the NWSA visual arts division it is a choreographic interpretation of key moments in the lives of the women who influenced the work of Pablo Picasso and their often tumultuous and intriguing relationship with him. CELIA (2011), also choreographed by London, renders the high-energy and spiciness of rhumba and salsa while invoking the tremendous musicianship and creativity of the great Cuban singer, the late Celia Cruz – one of the most beloved and popular Hispanic artists of our time.
