Dancing Conversations: Lil Buck, Jon Boogz, and Third Coast Percussion

Join the Center for the Arts and the National Center for Choreography at The University of Akron (NCCAkron) for a panel discussion with Grammy® Award-winning Third Coast Percussion’s David Skidmore and Movement Art Is’ Lil Buck and Jon Boogz. This live conversation will focus on Metamorphosis, a dynamic artistic collaboration through the blending of street dance and percussion music. Moderated by NCCAkron Executive/Artistic Director Christy Bolingbroke, choreographers Buck and Boogz will share their creative process and approach alongside Skidmore in this panel discussion unpacking the opportunities and discoveries made when dance and music artists collaborate. The panel discussion will feature video excerpts from Metamorphosis, including Sunny X—a new dance/music piece originally co-commissioned by the Center for the Arts. This free and open conversation is a part of Third Coast Percussion’s time as virtual Mason Artists-in-Residence.
