Alexis Iammarino is working with Liz Lerman Dance Exchange (LLDE) in Takoma Park, MD.

 


 

Co-president of Teen Exchange, Talia Mason greeting prospective partcipants at an open house this past September.

Working as a community artist-in-residence at Dance Exchange and at Patterson High School, in East Baltimore, I reflect and analyze the philosophies and methodologies of both LLDE / MACA through my own artmaking and research facilitating in distinct communities (within different socio-cultural traditions). I position the sensibility of dance and convening around arts related youth empowerment to organize and seek out HS youth invested in leading elementary youth into their own art making, dance making and team building processes.

 

Beginning this Novemember I began co-facilitating with my fellow MACAn, Anne Kotleba, at Raynor Browne Academy in East Baltimore. We work together to build upon existing after school programming in chess, sports and dance by integrating the visual and performance arts.
