Whether you're interested in music or dance, local or international flavor, performing arts or a cultural event, WoMan has something to offer.
Saturday, March 3, CAPITA Foundation for the Arts will debut its annual community-based performance, WoMan, at the Carolina Theatre in Durham. The evening will fuse local dance talent and musical performances with internationally renowned jazz artists.
"CAPITA brings back the spectacular element of going to the theater, enhancing the role of live theatrical productions in our community," said Anjanée Bell, artistic director and founder of CAPITA. "
This event will be very star-studded. We are very much a reflection of our vision... The standard of excellence for moving performance from stage to life."
Bell, an experienced dancer, choreographer and teacher, is a Durham native who returned home after years spent traveling and studying. She has drawn on her own experiences as a female traveler in creating WoMan.
"The title came from the initial woman-from me as a woman exploring cultural issues," she said. "After coming back from traveling my focus became the balance of male and female, because really we are one."
This year, WoMan features three members of New Orlean jazz family the Jordans-Stephanie Jordan on vocals, Marlon Jordan on trumpet and Kent Jordan on flute-along with Duke's very own John Brown Trio.
"It will be a positive thing for Durham because it brings everybody together-art can bring everybody together," Bell said. "I'm excited about getting it out there and offering it to the community."
WoMan will be presented March 3 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $15.
