Alla Boara “Pizzica” dance class with special guest Kate Causbie! Day 1

  • Art Wall Pop-up Gallery 43 Furnace Street Akron, OH, 44308 United States (map)

In this 90min session Kate and Anthony will demonstrate the basics of the folk tradition of Pizzica in both dance and music! Space and spots are limited so reserve a ticket early!

More about Kate Causbie:

Kate is from Seattle, Washington and since 2018 has been chasing musica popolare traditions from Puglia, the homeland of her paternal grandmother's family. She first encountered pizzica music and dance during research online, and from there discovered its land origin and her family's story. She travels to Puglia regularly, learning as much as she can about pizzica and other Southern Italian folk music and dance. She is passionate about fostering bridges to these traditions for the Italian-American community, and is a strong believer in the power of music and dance to encapsulate memories, experiences, and identities lost to assimilation into "Americanization."
