Folkloric Dance Foundations w/ Peniel Guerrier

https://www.latishacesardance.com/krik-krak-festival

Celebrating Haitian Heritage Month we'll be offering in person and online activities that highlight Haitian Art and Culture. All workshops will be taught by Haitian Artists that are masters at combining art and wellness. All the activities have been curated by the Create Your Well Podcast.

This is a charity event and all proceeds will go towards building the Kriye Bode Cultural Community Center. The Kriye Bode Project has been creating high quality cultural experiences in Haiti, US, and around the world for over 15 years. The Kriye Bode Center will serve as a hub for educational and cultural revitalization and will be located in St Marc Haiti.

Join us for a week that will nourish your mind body and soul.

About Peniel Guerrier

Peniel Guerrier is a creative artist, an arts educator and community organizer with a focus on the research, preservation, promotion and presentation of Haitian culture. Peniel was born in Port-au Prince Haiti and studied music and dance at the L'Ecole Nationale des Arts (ENARTS). He danced with the National Dance Theatre of Haiti as well as the pretigious Balllet Folklorique Tamboula D'Haiti. Peniel is currently the artistic director of Tamboula D'Haiti as well as the founder of Kriye Bode. Kriye Bode in Haitian Kreyol is a call to participate- a call for assembly. In this spirit Peniel has been creating opportunities for professionals and amateurs artists young and old to come together to celebrate Haitian Art. He has also been facilitating exchanges between Haitian artists and artists from around the world. This includes hosting Haitian Artists in New York City and personally guiding groups from around the world on educational tours around Haiti. Peniel is currently managing the build of the Kriye Bode Cultural Center in St.Marc Haiti.

Peniel is highly regarded as a teacher because of his thoroughness, his kindness, and the individual attention he gives to students of all levels. He draws on his extensive knowledge of the history and rituals of Haitian folkloric dance to create original combinations within the different traditional Haitian rhythms. We are have to welcome Peniel back to Krik Krak.

All levels are welcomed. See you on the dance floor!
