I just wanted to let you all know about a wonderful new exhibition at UCLA's Fowler Museum of Cultural History. I hope you can make it!
Dance in Cuba:
Photographs by Gil Garcetti
April 22, 2006 to June 4, 2006
Location: The Fowler Museum of Cultural History on the UCLA campus
Admission is FREE
More information about the exhibition:
Noted urban photographer and former prosecutor and Los Angeles District Attorney Gil Garcetti captures the essence of dance in Cuba in this selection of fifty-nine images, most from his new book Dance in Cuba. Garcetti's rich black-and-white photographs reveal that dance is uniquely embedded in the culture and spirit of Cuba, where Afro-Cuban dance, classical ballet, contemporary dance, flamenco, and street performance co-exist to include everyone. Garcetti had unprecedented access to professional dance studios by collaborating with Alicia Alonso (director), Miguel Cabrera (official historian), and prima ballerina Viengsay Valdes of the famed Ballet Nacional de Cuba as well as with Miguel Ferrer, director of Danza Contemporánea de Cuba, and others. He has masterfully used his camera to freeze dramatic moments and chronicle this enigmatic country with its flourishing dance traditions.
