FirstWorks

FirstWorks features Afro-Brazilian tap artist Leonardo Sandoval’s collaboration with bassist Gregory Richardson, Partido, at Providence RI’s signature outdoor arts festival in June 2021. Through free public performances, residency workshops, and engagement events, Partido will expose audiences to the energizing musicality of percussive dance and offer opportunities to dance and jam. Sandoval and Richardson’s work will also spark conversations about the origins of vernacular dance forms and histories of Black artistic expression in the US from an international point of view.
