Join the Colored Criticism family for our first in-person event since 2020! We’re celebrating the holidays and our continued community with a party.

We’ll be hosting Passion Fruit Dance Company, a trio featuring choreographer Tatiana Desardouin and dancers Mai Lê Hô and Lauriane Ogay.

In Dance Within Your Dance, Tatiana Desardouin invites you to connect with the techniques, rhythms, and essence of hip-hop and house dance. The performance piece is followed by a lecture/Q&A about race, using “an introspective seed” — a tool designed by Tatiana to start an introspective anti-racist work.

About Colored Criticism

Colored Criticism convenes people of color to be seen and heard in the arts. We highlight the voices of artists, audiences, and professionals historically sidelined from cultural criticism. We conduct lovingly critical conversations with a light touch and bright spirit.

About Passion Fruit Dance Company

Passion Fruit is a street/club Dance Theater & educational Company. Our mission is to promote the authenticity of Street & clubbing Dance styles and cultures, to highlight the black culture, its heritage, and contribution to society, to explore the human experience, address social issues such as racism, and strive to inspire young artists to share their voices throughout our dance pieces and artistic practices.
