Rainbow Tribe - A Dancing in the Streets performance

Rainbow Tribe kicks off the 2014 Dancing in the Streets -- a free outdoor dance series in Somerville
Location: Chuckie Harris Park, Somerville

Since its inception as a volunteer run and operated entity in 1992,
Rainbow Tribe, a Boston-based organization, has delivered fiercely
intense, high-octane performances throughout
the East Coast. Artistic Director Melanie Kasdon and the Executive
Leadership are a collaborative powerhouse of dance talent producing
entrancing choreography that not only entertains, but also motivates
audiences of all ages and nationalities.

For this performance,
excerpts from their most recent annual show, Perceptions will be
presented. The works in this production are connected by a common theme
- in various ways, they are all about exploring what is seen and
unseen. What we see is not always what is meant to be seen. The
audience is encouraged to open your minds, step back and try to under
what message we are trying to convey.

Rainbow Tribe, Inc. is a
501 (c)(3) organization that utilizes the medium of dance to educate on
the importance of embracing cultural differences. The organization
produces work for three distinct sub-companies: Tribe, The Dance Company
