Carolina Blendian

Carolina Blendian is an art video masquerade parade comprised of a series of vibrant vignettes. Each vignette is dedicated to a force of nature as expressed in the Cuban Santeria tradition. Carolina Blendian features fusion dance, using movements influenced by Cuban, West African, Square Dance and Native American Pow-wow movement traditions. Incorporating poetry, projections and photography, the result is an cultural extravaganza.
