Get the behind the scenes scoop on a show Ore worked on called seed & sound. Hear how themes of diaspora and echolocation helped guide the choreographic approach, and how a dance called Kuku, as well as Manjaco rhythms, were incorporated into the piece.

Special thanks to Urban Movement Arts and Philadelphia Dance Projects, and especially to Vince Johnson, Terry Fox, Kayliani Sood, and Allison Smith, for helping bring seed & sound to Philly audiences.
