Rhythm of Change 2016

In 2016, Rhythm of Change partnered with FirstWorks, Rites and Reason Theatre, and the American Dance Legacy Initiative to bring URBAN BUSH WOMEN to campus and to our community for performances, workshops, and conversations that celebrate and reflect on cultures of the African Diaspora.

Rhythm of Change is an initiative that has emerged from 26 years of Mande West African Dance as a historical and embodied study at Brown University. Since its inception in 1989, Brown’s program has pioneered the study of Mande performance; it is now a transnational program with a research center in Mali and has served over 2000 students from around the globe.
