chashama, in association with Greater Jamaica Development Corp (GJDC), is proud to present Dance Jamaica!, unexpected dance performances outside the Jamaica Performing Arts Center (JPAC).
Four dance companies that operate in the Queens area have been selected to create outdoor performances for the lawn in front of the Jamaica Performing Arts Center in its inaugural season. JPAC is located on one of Jamaica’s busiest thoroughfares, and these public performances will delight the public as they go about their Saturday activities.
On October 4th ESOTA/KECDE! known for their youthful blend of concert and theater will perform "ESOTA! Signatures." Works include STAND (commissioned by State Senator Malcolm A. Smith), The Day is Past and Gone (a tribute to dance pioneer Alvin Ailey) and A Chorus Line (commissioned by the New York Carats and tribute to mentor Michael Peters). This performance is made possible in part by funding by Councilmember Leroy Comrie and Councilmember James Sanders, Jr.
