Ana Maria Alvarez, in collaboration with director Michael Garces and a team of musicians and designers, creates a new Urban Latin Dance Theater work. Inspired by Shakespeare's The Tempest, Agua Furiosa uses multiple water themes and imagery of Oya, the Afro-Cuban warrior goddess of wind and storms, to invite audiences to face the gruesome contradictions of color, poverty, and immigration in the U.S. and seeks to invent new paradigms for how we think about and live inside of this shifting conversation about race in America. Estimated artist fee: $20,000/performance, $30,000/week (plus housing and travel).
