Oyá, the Orisha of change and the spirit of the wind, makes way for the new by removing the old. She is the air which cools and restores so that humankind has the opportunity to rebuild to an original state.
Power of the Wind is informed by the Ifa spiritual system of the Yoruba of Nigeria and Cuba and expresses the ending and rebirth of our human experience and understanding of life.
Through movement expression derived from various contemporary and traditional dance genres, music and spoken word, the narrative is from the perspective of the African diasporic and Afro Latinx lived experiences.
This production is directed by Iris Rosa Santiago and features costume design and construction by Kelvin Burzon; assistant direction by Cherese Dillman; music editing by Hannah Crane; photography and graphic design by Kelvin Burzon; makeup design by Briony Towler; and Dancers Gabriella Bain, Khristian Batts, Camille Beck, Ava Benvenutti, Kelvin Burzon, Hannah Crane, Brittany Davis, Kandyce Donald, Kiara Rodriquez Nuñez, Susana Saldivar, Bianca Salgado, and Briony Towler.
