2010 Art and Change Grant – $2,500

Ayoka will create a performance piece entitled The Healing/Igbala, which demonstrates through dance, music, and multimedia, the similarities and connectedness between the various forms of spirituality within the Yoruba tradition. The piece guides and challenges audiences and artists to transform the way they live, think, and behave in respect to decision making, gender, poverty, and the establishment of meaningful and productive relationships. Committed to the development and preservation of holistic and culturally enriching programming, Ayoka hopes that through the performances and subsequent talkbacks with the audience, awareness of the Yoruba tradition will increase and the consciousness of the audience will be transformed as they think about how the lessons are applicable to their own lives.
