The New York Times Read More\n\n\n\nIf you think Memphis\, Tennessee culture begins and ends on Beale Street\, take a deeper dive into the river city’s distinctive flavor of music\, art\, and dance. In the last decade\, artists like Lil Buck have promoted the city’s signature steps — dubbed Memphis Jookin’. In Memphis Jookin’: The Show\, Buck choreographed a showcase of the dance style\, known for its ankle-bending\, gravity-defying\, smooth footwork. He performs alongside 10 highly skilled dancers and a DJ to a soundtrack that evokes the energy of the streets\, hallways\, and clubs where the style was born. Buck first turned heads during his interpretative performance of “The Dying Swan\,” accompanied by Yo-Yo Ma\, and a memorable spot in Madonna’s 2012 Super Bowl halftime show — and has now taken Memphis Jookin’ all the way to the Kennedy Center. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSHOW SPONSORS URL:https://convocations.purdue.edu/event/memphis-jookin-the-show-featuring-lil-buck/ LOCATION:Loeb Playhouse\, 128 Memorial Mall\, West Lafayette\, IN\, 47907\, United States CATEGORIES:Family ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://convocations.purdue.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/c-Louis-Ziggy-Tucker-017.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Purdue Convocations":MAILTO:convos@purdue.edu GEO:40.42508;-86.912651 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Loeb Playhouse 128 Memorial Mall West Lafayette IN 47907 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=128 Memorial Mall:geo:-86.912651,40.42508 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20220203T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20220203T193000 DTSTAMP:20260525T061602 CREATED:20211008T010000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211206T173722Z UID:10000284-1643916600-1643916600@convocations.purdue.edu SUMMARY:Dökk - CANCELLED DESCRIPTION:UPDATE: October 26\, 2021\n\n\n\nDökk\, by the Milan\, Italy-based company\, fuse*\, was scheduled to perform in Loeb Playhouse on February 3\, 2022. Due to COVID-19 related complications\, the U.S. tour has been cancelled.  While the Convocations team is currently working to reschedule the performance for a future date\, all tickets purchased for the performance will be refunded automatically. \n\n\n\nIf you purchased with a credit card\, the credit should appear on your billing statement within the next 7-10 business days.

Dökk is a daring\, dynamic journey into the subconscious\, the latest expression of artistry through emerging digital technology from Italy’s fuse*. Named after the Icelandic word for “darkness\,” Dökk uses software to synthesize real-time data from four simultaneous sources: Dökk’s musical score; the movement of performer / choreographer Elena Annovi; her heartbeat; and emotional analysis of social media trends at that very moment. This data mashup is vividly visualized through a stunning 3D projection environment. As these data sources shift and change\, each performance of Dökk becomes one-of-a-kind—evoking life’s own random\, unforeseeable whims.

It’s also a thriving hub of modern-dance movement\, education and opportunity\, led by the 1992 inception of the Guangdong Modern Dance Company as China’s first modern-dance ensemble. Hailed by The New York Times as “a pacesetter with a difference\,” GMDC explores China’s modern identity\, cultural history and social perspectives through contemporary dance. GMDC’s Beyond Calligraphy is a two-episode work channeling the flowing\, detailed grace of Chinese calligraphy as both inspiration and point of departure for dialogue about ancient and modern culture. It’s a performance The Washington Post described as “full of meditative grace (and) sharp\, cut-crystal physicality.” \nPRE-SHOW TALK | 7PM | STEWART CENTER 310\nJoin Guangdong Modern Dance Company’s choreographer\, Mrs. LIU Qi\, for a discussion about the evening’s performance. \n  \nPurdue University and Purdue Convocations are actively monitoring the outbreak of respiratory illnesses caused by the novel coronavirus first identified in Wuhan\, Hubei Province\, China. The members of the Guangdong Modern Dance Company (GMDC) successfully passed their health screening upon entering the United States approximately two weeks ago\, and their health continues to be monitored throughout their tour in the US.
