What Wendy's Watching: Nora Chipaumire at FIAF

­Dancer/choreographer Nora Chipaumire is known to confront racial and gender stereotypes in her work. A former member of Urban Bush Women, she learned to tell stories with movement as well as words, in a way that commands the attention of her audience. In her new duet performance #PUNK, part of the Crossing the Line Festival, she envisions the 1980s American punk scene while also delving into memories of her childhood in Zimbabwe. In this episode of “What Wendy’s Watching”, we visit the French Institute Alliance Française, which is where the piece has its American premiere, Sept 14-15, 2017.

On the second night, Ralph Lemon moderates a talk with Chipaumire and Faustin Linyekula, a dance artist from Congo who is also on the Crossing the Line series.
