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
