Omi Odara Schedule for Oriki Omi Odara Pupy's Classes
|
Felix "Pupy" Insua
|
Insua's repertoire includes works that range from authentic traditional pieces based on the Yoruba, Congo, Dahomey and Carabali Cultures to genuinely original and fresh interpretations motivated by the folkloric utilizing a dance vocabulary ranging from classical and contemporary ballet, modern, and jazz. Performances illustrate the
chronology of the Cuban rhythms beginning with the sacred music, dance and song of the
traditions and their transformation into Son, Rumba, and Mambo. Given his mastery of the Afro-Cuban dance mixed with his professional training, Insua's choreography steps outside of the realm of
traditional dance forms.
With its explosive and masterful musical arrangements or rhythms and vocals and innovative choreography, the ensemble tells Cuba's story beginning in Africa. Prejudice is bred by ignorance. Education, inspiration and enlightenment are the undercurrents of this ensemble. The mission of Oriki Omi Oddara is to beak down cultural barriers through the arts, creating acceptance and compassion through the recognition and upliftment of all peoples and cultures everywhere.
