Performing Arts in Medellín

Since being in this city I have attended several performing arts events.  Here are some images of the groups I've seen on stage here.

The Ballet Folklorico of Antioquia performed at Teatro Metropolitano recently.  This company has several dance schools around the city that promote the regional dance styles of the country.

 Universidad de Antioquia brough NOW Dance Company of Korea to their main stage in September.  I was especially impressed with their used of stage design and lighting. 





Sankofa is an Afro-Colombian dance company based in Medellín.  This group brings the African roots of Colombia's coastal regions to the stage with vibrant music and movement.  I was fortunate enough to attend a free performance and make friends with several of the company members.
