FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12th 6:00-9:30pm @ 2100 Chestnut St. Pricing: $65 LA CALLE! is Carne Viva’s initiative to shift the way arts and education are embedded into our communities' everyday lives. Understanding that our practice forms the community, and the community forms the practice, our collective work in these mediums catapults us into intentional, experiential , and socially activated work with culture at its center. Committed to a constant evolution in the arts, we aim to disrupt the idea that movement is only capable if you are trained. Here we welcome all bodies, all levels, to be intertwined in the magic of artivism. We prove that art is a tool agent for change, allowing folks to become part of our familia through movement, music, and text to activate and uplift our audiences not forgetting that culture is cultivated and found in LA CALLE!
BIOGRAPHY: Carne Viva Dance Theatre is a Miami and Lenapehoking based collective of artivists de aquí y de allá who believe culture is a portal to liberation and the use of their body is an act of rebellion. Fusing Afro-Cuban influences, social dance, and contemporary forms, their work blends movement, sound, and storytelling to honor collective memory and celebrate their identity. Carne Viva has been featured at Pérez Art Museum in Miami, Judson Memorial Church in NYC, Miami Dances!, and the Latinx Movement Festival, in Washington DC. They have been artists in residence at Mascher Space Cooperative, MOtiVE Brooklyn, and Miami Dade College Kendall Campus as Leaps and Bounds’ Company in Residence. Their current project, Dame La Receta!, explores healing, joy, and cultural preservation with the support from the MAP Fund (2024).

Philly is a legendary city for hip hop and street dance culture. There is undoubtedly a Philly way, a Philly style. No one Locks like Philly Lockers, predominantly thanks to the contributions of the Hood Lockers. Philly Hip Hop has an uncanny way of combining multiple languages with raw, yet clear expression. Before there was the term All Styles, Philly Hip Hop dancers embodied all street dance languages, getting busy with backrocks, going airborne and breaking it down with undeniable groove. When it comes to House, we have the knowledge and language of New York while reflecting our own Philly OGs and the essence of our club history. For 12 weeks this summer, UMA will feature leaders in Philly's street dance scene, covering locking, house and hip hop. These workshops are directed by Marcus 'Epic' Tucker. Similar to the battle program, Marcus, will form a bridge between students and Philly street dance luminaries. Whereas the battle program was getting students geared up to compete. This workshop will help further develop technique, personal style and undoubtedly help participants to have deeper rooting in Philly street dance history and culture. The series launches with Marcus and Dru, offering insights into Locking and Hood Locking. For house, we are featuring Josh 'Peazy' Polk. For Hip Hop and deep insight into Philly culture, we are featuring Gate Tha Monster and Phil "J.I.P. THE RULER " Cuttino Jr. This summer continue to level up at UMA by studying with Philly's HIp Hop Heroes. |
