Come out to Friday Morning Jazz at Zenon this Friday, August 5 to study with our final Rhythmically Speaking guest artist of the summer, the fabulous Rae Charles! Class runs 10:00-11:15am and is still in hybrid format, which means you can attend in-person (masked) or via Zoom.
Rae is a local choreographer, scholar, and dance educator in the Twin Cities. Currently working on a Ph.D. in Dance Education at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, she is dedicated to advocating for racial equity both on the stage and in the classroom. Charles Harge is a graduate of MSSPA/PiM, New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, and the University of Michigan. She locates her own choreography at the intersection of jazz and modern and is greatly influenced by her work with artists and companies in New York as well as Minnesota including Jawole Willa Jo Zollar and Maria Bauman or Urban Bush Women, MBDance, Robert Battle, Camille A. Brown, Ron K. Brown, Karen L. Charles/Threads Dance Project, David Dorfman, Alonzo King, Rhythmically Speaking, Sydney Skybetter and Kate Weare. Photo credit: Chelsea Rowe.
