International Dance Festival “Habana Vieja en Movimiento”, April 15-19, 2015, Havana, Cuba "Choreographer Alexey Taran’s inspiration for his latest dance/theater work, Tribe, is deeply rooted and very personal. Commissioned and presented by Miami-Dade County Auditorium for April 2 through 5, Tribe is an exploration of homelessness. Known for creating dance that is very physical, with bold, articulated movements, Taran crafted a precise movement vocabulary with Tribe that was both intense and specific. “We are basing a lot of movements on the gestures and images of homelessness,” he explains. “We’ve been investigating the way that they sleep, the way that they sit, gestures of people talking with themselves. We try to use all this physicality in our bodies. It’s very strong, the piece is very physical. “We explored a lot of gestures, trying to create a new language and emotion through movement.” Commissioned by Miami-Dade County Auditorium Fresh / Brand New & On.Stage Series. “With the support of the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council, the Miami-Dade County Mayor and Board of County Commissioners.” NALAC Fund for the Arts Artist/Ensemble Grant, The National Association of Latino Arts and Cultures (NALAC).
