SUMMARY:2023 Sabar Rek Atlanta Conference & Cultural Event
DESCRIPTION:Every Year. Every Fall. Every October. The 2023 Sabar Rek Atlanta Conference & Cultural Event takes individuals on a cultural ride of the folkloric art forms of West Africa. This 3-day educational and cultural arts experience\, curated by artist Assane Kouyaté\, uncovers ngueweul (griot) traditions exclusive to Wolof and Serer heritage and diverse ethnic groups of Senegal / the Senegambia region. Griot tradition is revered and passed down through generations in specific family lines. Kouyaté assembles a masterful team of US-based indigenous Senegalese artists to help preserve and enhance the traditional experience. \n\n\n\nThe conference is unique due to its focus on SABAR rather than djembe art forms. The term sabar has multiple meanings – referring to the dance style\, the family of drums played with one hand and a stick\, as well as the communal event that draws individuals to extemporize with live rhythms. Conference kick-off is Fri Oct-6 and extends till Sun Oct-8\, providing 15 opportunities for traditional dance/drum – 12 dance sessions (sabar\, kutiro\, serer\, serouba) and 3 drum (sabar). \n\n\n\nFollowing Saturday’s daytime activities\, participants can join in for SUPPER & SABAR – a small and intimate late-night ‘tanebeer’ or communal gathering to engage in dialogue\, indulge in West African cuisine\, a mini fashion showcase and music/dj-traditional and popular Senegalese mbalax beats. \n\n\n\nCost/Session: $22 Gen Adm | $13 Special (Youth\, Seniors\, Person w/Disabilities\, Community Partners and South Fulton Residents). Early Bird and School/Educational Packages also available.  \n\n\n\nFor more information visit: www.sabarrekatlanta.org Email: info@sabarrekatlanta.org or Follow on FB or IG: @kouyatejeli AND @sabarrekatlanta \n\n\n\nThis project is presented in partnership with South Fulton Institute. Funding for this program is provided in part by the Fulton County Board of Commissioners. Support is provided by Atlanta’s West African businesses and community groups\, Sabar Rek Atlanta Inc.\, and Kouyate Jeli. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Coco Chanel: The Life of a Fashion Icon
DESCRIPTION:Acclaimed Belgian-Colombian choreographer Annabelle Lopez Ochoa’s original full-length narrative ballet Coco Chanel: The Life of a Fashion Icon will delve into the complex life of one of the 20th century’s most intriguing iconoclasts. The woman who launched a global fashion empire\, Coco Chanel redefined the world of fashion and more than a century later her legacy continues. That legacy is defined in part by Chanel’s brilliant designs\, shrewd business acumen\, and glamorous lifestyle; it is also defined by immorality and opportunism in her rise to the top.
