Jarem-Roots Celebrates Diversity and richness of all cultures
in the art of dance and music.
«... in diversity there is beauty and there is strength.»
Maya Angelou
Help us Build a narrative dance with live music, that celebrates our diversity, the beauty in our cultural differences, and sends a message of peace, and togetherness.
I strongly believe that the way to successfully achieve this is through the universal language of dance, music and the arts.
Different communities are represented by different dance styles;
Flamenco, Indian contemporary "Katak", Hip Hop and Afro Diaspora.
("Jarem-Roots" Teaser 2014)
It tells stories that showcase the interaction of diversity within communities, massive migration, and the power and strength of unity.
Accompanied by live music this allows the audience to truly become captivated in the richness of cultural exchange.
This magical journey takes you from urban street dances to Flamenco, Indian Contemporary "Katak" to African Diasporic dances.
Jarem-Roots is a dance theater production which explores and touches the evolution and history of humanity.
The message of this piece shows we are stronger unified no matter our race, background, gender, social status.
The world needs help right now, to build bridges not walls.
