Arts in the Afternoon: Cleo Parker Robinson Dance: Dreamcatchers

Cleo II (the 2nd company of Cleo Parker Robinson Dance) blends the traditions of historic and cultural preservation with those of myth and legend, through music, dance, and spoken word. “Dreamcatchers” shares stories of iconic African American historic figures of the West, including Clara Brown and James Beckwourth, as well as indigenous and African leaders of the Americas such as Ximalma and Yanga.

“Dreamcatchers” made its world premiere in 2011.
