DANCECleveland is excited to come together in person again for an outdoor,
site-responsive performance at one of our favorite summer venues, Cain
Park. This original collaborative and creative work will bring together
world-renowned Hip Hop dance company, Raphael Xavier, live music, and
Northeast Ohio's local hip-hop community.

The idea for "KOLÂDE-XCOPE" originated as an outdoor experience at the
Brooklyn Botanical Garden. The work will include a live musician/vocalist
and electronic technology with hip-hop aesthetics that include breaking,
poetry, spoken word, and rap cadences with an improvisational and intuitive
approach. The work will be shaped and inspired by the perspectives and
backgrounds of the local artists tapped to collaborate and perform in the
piece.

An Award-winning artist originally from Wilmington, Delaware, Raphael
Xavier is a Hip-Hop dancer and breaking practitioner that has been honing
his craft since 1983. A self-described "Innovative Movement Conceptualist",
Xavier creates new ways to expand the vocabulary of the dance form and how
it fits onto an aging body. Don't miss this outdoor performance experience
that is truly one of a kind!

*"…Artful and mesmerizing, Xavier transforms a bravado dance style into an
introspective meditation." - Dance Magazine*
