Adia Tamar Whitaker & Àṣẹ Dance Theater

Adia Tamar Whitaker’s project Following The Road to Ose Tura is a dance and musical theater response to The Road to Ose Tura, a series of dance films created by Ifa priestess, dancer, choreographer, and scholar, Efeya Ifadayo Olaberinjo Makala Sampson. Before Sampson transitioned into the ancestral realm, she charged Whitaker and other dance family members with completing her dance films. Following The Road to Ose Tura is a three stage, dance theater performance ritual featuring Whitaker’s choreography and film projections of Sampson’s work.
