    Dzul Dance: Rites Of Passage

    September 24, 2016 | 8:00 – 9:30 pm

    John Jay College

    The world premiere of Dzul Dance: Rites of Passage, fusing dance with aerial and circus arts to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, will open a series of performances associated with the CUNY Dance Initiative on Saturday, September 24, 2016 at 8:00 p.m. at the Gerald W. Lynch Theater at John Jay College, 524 W 59th St, Manhattan. By transforming bodies into earthbound and airborne forces of nature, choreographer Javier Dzul focuses on pre-Hispanic rites of passage while exploring the idea of ritual as a transformative experience.
