UMS will engage Cleo Parker Robinson Dance in a multi-day residency that will comprise educational programs and performances of their work, “The Four Journeys,” a new work conceived by Amalia Viviana Basanta Hernandez, artistic director of Ballet Folklorico de Mexico (a company that UMS is also presenting in 2020-2021). The work examines the confluence of culture in Mexico from its diverse Indigenous heritage to the more recent influences of European, African, and Asian infusions and features a collaboration with Japanese video mapping artist, Taketo Kobayashi.
