This retrospective exhibition celebrating his sculptural practice investigates duality and hierarchy as a dialogue between technology-assisted and handmade forms. Beatty’s work\, inclusive of prints and drawings\, is informed by concepts and visual culture taken from science\, nature\, and mathematics. Beatty’s sculptures and drawings are evocative hybrids of geometry and biological form. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Details\n \n \n \n \n \n \n January 21-April 5\, 2025 \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Price\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Free Entry \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Venue\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nIris & B.

DESCRIPTION:Department of Theatre & Dance\n \n \n \n \n \n Lacina Coulibaly\n \n \n \n \n \n Until the Lion Tells the Story…\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nUntil the Lion Tells the Story… invites audiences to embrace the wisdom of Africa as a vital perspective in understanding our shared humanity. Drawing on the golden ratio and Fibonacci sequence\, Coulibaly builds a transformative narrative inspired by ancient Egyptian practices and the writings of African intellectuals like Omotunde Kalala and Cheikh Anta Diop. The work explores themes of history\, memory\, and self-renewal\, reminding us that reconnecting with our past is key to understanding ourselves. \nWith lighting design by Roderick Murray\, costume design by Oumar Ouedraogo\, and set design by Sylvester Akakpo\, this performance promises to be a rich blend of artistry and storytelling. Music inspired by African traditions and sound composition by Kimathi Moore further enhance the experience. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nAbout the Artist\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nBorn in Burkina Faso\, Lacina Coulibaly has crafted a career blending traditional African dance with contemporary influences\, creating a unique choreographic expression. His extensive experience spans collaborations with global companies\, teaching at esteemed institutions like Yale and Brown\, and performing in award-winning works. Coulibaly’s artistic vision bridges cultural traditions and modern innovations\, inspiring audiences worldwide. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n “I have always believed that dance is the sovereign expression of African arts. Life is about achievements and failures\, and one should not allow themselves to fail twice in the same way. As I said\, I am expressing in my performance\, in my journey\, the path I choose: self-determination\, trust in myself\, and sovereignty.” \n Lacina Coulibaly\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Details\n \n \n \n \n \n \n March 126:00 PM \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Price\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Free entry \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Venue\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nLuth Concert HallThe Prior Performing Arts Center \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Explore More URL:https://priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu/event/lacina-coulibaly/ LOCATION:DEPARTMENT OF THEATRE & DANCE – Luth Concert Hall –\, 1 College St\, Worcester\, 01610\, United States CATEGORIES:Department of Theatre & Dance ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/lacina-coulibaly-landscape-web.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
