About Angel |
Artistic/Creative Director, choreographer and dance teacher Angel Kaba began her artistic career with ballet at age 6, which she pursued for more than 15 years. She also studied music theory and theater at the Music Academy of Brussels in Belgium. In 2006, she started working on her first musical "Elya's Dream". By then, she had already founded her own performance company, Contre-Tendance. Her primary goal is to train artists and to create opportunities for them to express themselves on stage. "Believe in your dreams and try hard to reach them" is the leitmotif she keeps repeating to her company's artists.

about this series |
We've asked teachers to bring something that they're working on, something they're intrigued about, to present it to the community and see how can we make it work together. At the end of every class there will be a time to debrief and discuss the material and strategies used to present it.
This series is a part of the CREATING SPACE Program. Funded in large part by the Lambert Foundation Fund of Tides Foundation, the CREATING SPACE Program provides opportunities to support and develop artists of all races, backgrounds, cultures, sexual orientations, gender identities and aesthetic traditions. |
