Baker & Tarpaga Dance Project
Beautiful Struggle is a work-in-progress from Baker & Tarpaga Dance Project that blends contemporary African, postmodern and hip hop dance with live music. In the day and age of disconnection, how do violence and love reside in the history of one’s body? Issues of race, gender, class and nation are explored in relation to empathy, media images, as well as family and ancestral history.
Based in Los Angeles, California and Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, Baker & Tarpaga Dance Project is a transnational contemporary dance company that aims to create socially relevant dance theatre. Provocative and highly physical, their powerful performances showcase rhythmic intensity and soulful expression.
