651 takes East Africa by storm!

This past October, at the invitation of the US State Department, 651 ARTS brought three of Brooklyn’s most talented choreographers, Reggie Wilson, Nora Chipaumire and Christalyn Wright, to Kenya and Tanzania as part of 651 ARTS ongoing Africa Exchange program.  Wilson, Chipaumire and Wright led workshops and performed at Nairobi, Kenya’s GoDown Performing Arts Center, as well as participated  in the first contemporary dance fesival in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Check out the slideshow to see some photos taken by 651 ARTS Managing Director, Anna Glass,  from their whirlwind trip. And make sure to check back in the coming days to read about some of amazing people they met and their experiences of Kenya, Tanzania.
