SUMMARY:Winin' 101: Finding Your Inner Jamette
DESCRIPTION:The Connecticut Cultural Heritage Arts Program welcomes Dr. Adanna Kai Jones to present a lecture/workshop that will address the bodily logic behind the rolling hip dance known as winin’. Rooted in the Trinidadian Carnival\, where the wine is most commonly performed\, participants will not only learn how and when to wine\, but they will be invited to connect to the deep histories of this dance culture\, paying particular attention to the late-19th Century jamette figure of Trinidad. Many scholars of the Trinidadian Carnival\, including Dr. Jones\, argue that the bodily logic of the wine is one of the inherited legacies of the jamette figure herself. So get ready to embody history in this multi-sensory lecture/workshop. (Note: no previous dance skills are needed\, just a willingness to participate and learn.) \n\nDr. Jones is Assistant Professor of Dance in the Department of Theater and Dance at Bowdoin College. As a dancer\, choreographer\, and researcher\, she critically examines the intersections of Caribbean dance\, Carnival\, and identity politics. \nThis event is free and open to the public\, and is supported by Connecticut Humanities. The lecture is held in tandem with the exhibit\, Mas: Carnival Costumes from Hartford’s West Indian Community.
