An Evening of Dance: Power and Wellness Through Capoeira and Embodiology

This event explores how different communities use art and wellness practices such as dance and movement to empower themselves. Through an integrated panel workshop with a dance professor and a capoeira (Afro-Brazilian martial arts) instructor, participants will explore the intersection of creative expression, wellness entrepreneurship, and social change, engaging with these creative entrepreneurs who bridge art, technology, and activism.

The event will start with a fireside chat/panel with the two invited speakers, Azmera Hammouri Davis and Ama Wray moderated by the faculty proposer, Pamela Nwakanma. After audience Q and A, the event will transition into an interactive mini dance workshop where either speaker will lead a small introductory session on an aspect of their art form.
