Share your Saturday with us as we celebrate the whole complex of living. Learn a new dance and roll up your sleeves in the kitchen with our guest chefs & home cooks. We put Africa and African-Diasporic arts at the center, while incorporating the influences of our diverse OKC community. 

This series is curated and organized by Marie Casimir and Chaya Fletcher. This series brings together dance and culinary artists to collaborate on a shared afternoon of movement, nourishment and community. Choreographer and Anthropologist Pearl Primus said, ‘Dance in Africa is not a separate art, but a part of the whole complex of living.
“I am inspired by my Haitian-American upbringing, where food was prepared, while family and neighbors danced, music played and there was always an occasion to celebrate in our home.”  - Marie Casimir 

This series was a food and dance gathering at SixTwelve in Oklahoma City created under the umbrella of Djaspora Productions in partnership with SixTwelve. Stay tuned for future food and performance programming.
