Collaboration with Jaruam Xavier

Sunday, Oct. 25, 2 p.m.
Weis Center Concert Hall

45 minutes, no intermission

Assistant Professor of Theatre & Dance at Bucknell University Jaruam Xavier will present a concert dance work that combines the lively rhythms of samba and the fluid agility of capoeira with contemporary dance. Through grounded footwork, circular movements and shared momentum, it celebrates Brazilian heritage by reimagining traditional elements on a modern stage. The piece will feature guitarist Luiz Barcellos, a lecturer at Penn State University.

Jaruam Xavier said, "The experience is deeply embedded in my memories and body, serving as a performance that aims to evoke sacredness and spirituality. Its goal is to elevate consciousness and articulate the sacred language of the present moment."
