LIVE COLLABORATION 🌱🌷⭕️ x

Reyna is a multidisciplinary artist, educator, scholar, room shaker and administrative support to x, x, x. She both holds the container still and fills it with flowers. Whether it be heels, vogue, house, lindy, swing, or others: the amount of knowledge in this one body speaks to generations of knowledge in previous bodies. We are lucky to have the likes of Reyna join us for this iteration of Wise Fruit.

Yacouba Sissoko was born in Mali. He is a world-renowned master kora player from the Djely griot tradition. After his graduation from the Institut National des Arts du Mali in Bamako, he played with artists like Taye and Oumou Sacko, Haja Soumano, Djallou Demba, Ami Koita, Fantani Koure, Kandia Kouyate, and l’Ensemble Instrumental du Mali. Yacouba continues to record with many famous musicians, including Source, Tamalalou, and Fula Flute. Yacouba also leads his own band, SIYA, meaning “source” in Bambara. The sound of SIYA represents the breakthrough of the past few generations of Western African musicians who have opened up this musical experience to new audiences, incorporating additional instruments and spanning musical genres.

HEADLINER 🌷 SOLES OF DUENDE • A Brooklyn-born Puerto-Rican from New Haven, a Mexican Puerto-Rican Jew from the Lower East Side, and a Bengali Indian from Jersey walked on to the wooden floor & the rest? History. Bonded by their deep love of music, their crafts, and true connection, Bessie-nominated Soles of Duende is on a lifelong mission to elevate the joy and music of true collaboration across disciplines and the celebration of the forms they practice. Based in the sounds of Tap (Amanda Castro), Flamenco (Arielle Rosales) and Kathak (Brinda Guha), Soles of Duende’s fire is the spirit that lives within each of these women to celebrate their connection given their beautiful differences and to uplift the forms that made them.

HEADLINER 🌷 Sun Kim • Sun Kim is a distinguished dancer, choreographer, artistic director, and dance educator. Hailing from South Korea, she specializes in Popping – a style of street dance in which she finds strength and freedom to speak her truth. Most recently, she has been honored with the 2022 Emerging Artist Award at Harlem Stage Gala and was nominated at the 2022 Bessie Awards for Outstanding Breakout Choreographer.

Sun’s passion for dance began at a young age. When she was 12 years old, she started learning Breaking and Popping. She quickly fell in love with the art form and knew that she wanted to pursue it professionally. After training for 10 years, she moved to NYC in 2011. Since then, she has achieved many accomplishments, such as winning Step Ya Game Up world final Popping battle, making it to the top 8 at UK B-Boy championship world final as the USA Popping representative, and performing for Cirque Du Soleil. Additionally, Sun Kim has taught at various institutions such as Princeton University, Broadway Dance Center, Peridance Center, and Kookmin University in South Korea.

Rather than staying in her comfort zone, she continues to challenge herself in different industries such as commercial jobs for Madonna, Elton John, Phish, Nike, McDonald’s, Golden Goose, and Gap, and also in the theater industry, she presented her own work for Burning Man at Sotheby’s, Harlem Stage, Breakin’ Convention, Jacob’s Pillow, New Victory Theater, and Mark Morris.

This breadth of experience has allowed her to develop a unique perspective and approach to directing and teaching that has established her own dance company, Sun Kim Dance Theatre (SKDT). SKDT has been performed at LayeRhythm/Works & Process Guggenheim with New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, MOPTOP Anniversary, San Francisco International Hip Hop Dance Festival, Ladies of Hip Hop Festival, Dance Parade NYC and Choreographer’s Carnival.
