Embodied Pathways

January 9, 2019 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

$11.00 – $16.00
April (Axé) Charmaine

with Axé

Embodied Pathways is an immersive, interactive and improvisational one-woman dance theatre salon enacted by April (Axé) Charmaine. The performance will be followed by a “Get Free” ecstatic dance movement for everybody to enjoy dancing! This show represents the uncharted and unconventional pathways the artist has discovered by becoming nomadic and traveling with the wind. It is an exploration of finding home in the body no matter where you are. As an interdisciplinary artist, Axé, will embody multiple styles of movement with a sense of form and freedom, exploring classical, contemporary, cross-cultural and conscious forms of dance in an intimate space.

Shoes cannot be worn in the performance space, so plan on removing your shoes, or we will have booties as an option.

This performance is the introduction for the One Sol Dance Festival, which will take place in multiple venues August 7-11, 2019 in Denver, Colorado USA. One Sol Dance Festival invites dancers of all levels into spaces of connection. There is a track for emerging dance artists (teen/YA), established artists, and one for everyday people who want to experience dance in a safe and supported environment. One Sol Dance Festival invites dancers of all levels into spaces of connection. There is a track for emerging dance artists (teen/YA), established artists, and one for everyday people who want to experience dance in a safe and supported environment. The goal of this festival is to encourage people to push past their personal limitations, create cutting edge works, and instill a sense of collaboration vs competition in the dance world. We are bringing dancers together to connect, collaborate, train, have fun and perform.

The theme for this inaugural festival will be “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised” Emerging and established dance artists are encouraged to submit applications and choreographic concepts by April 1, 2019. The One Sol Dance Festival will have several pop-up experiences in partnership with sponsoring organizations for dancers, lovers of dance and the general public leading up to the event, Including Artist Talks, Soirées, Teacher Sanctuaries, and Sol Vida Pop Up Classes.
