LEWISBURG — The Weis Center for the Performing Arts at Bucknell University will welcome Ephrat Asherie Dance with Arturo O’Farrill at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 12, a press release said. Together, the dance ensemble and Grammy-winning musician will present a new hour-long work called “Shadow Cities.”

The show blends Ephrat Asherie Dance’s exhilarating choreography with an original composition that features O’Farrill’s trademark Latin jazz sound.

“‘Shadow Cities’ explores what it means to be and to feel the in-between,” the press release said.

With a cast of seven dancers and four musicians, the performers explore the myriad ways they feel split between cities, memories and generations, encountering their most enlivened selves in unexpected moments.

Founded in 2012, New York City-based Ephrat Asherie Dance is made up of a group of multi-faceted street and club dance artists. A dance company dedicated to honoring the ethos of the underground club community, EAD is rooted in Black and Latine vernacular dance, including breaking, hip hop, house, waacking and the New York style hustle.

Ephrat “Bounce” Asherie is a NYC-based choreographer, performer and b-girl. A Bessie Award winner for Innovative Achievement in Dance, Asherie creates work for the dynamic group of dancers in her company, Ephrat Asherie Dance. Asherie has received numerous awards to support her work including Dance Magazine’s inaugural Harkness Promise Award, a Jerome Artist Fellowship and two fellowships from the New York Foundation for the Arts.

Mexican-American pianist, composer, and bandleader, O’Farrill stands as a towering figure in contemporary music, renowned for his genre-defying virtuosity, leadership, and unwavering commitment to social justice through music. O’Farrill bridges the gap between traditional Latin rhythms, modern jazz, and contemporary composition, continually pushing the boundaries of the art form while maintaining a profound connection to his roots.

There will be a pre-performance talk with Ephrat Asherie and Arturo O’Farrill from 6:45-7:15 p.m. in the Weis Center atrium.

Tickets can be reserved by calling 570-577-1000 or online at Bucknell.edu/BoxOffice.
