- **Event Description**: Join Jordan Taylor Hill for a dynamic exploration of rhythm, movement, and cultural memory across the African Diaspora. The program opens with a powerful performance featuring traditional and contemporary rhythms from West Africa, Cuba, and the Black American tradition. Participants are then invited into an interactive workshop where Jordan guides them through rhythms and movement vocabulary that illuminate how these practices carry history, identity, and community. 

Jordan is a 2026 NYSCA Support for Artists grant recipient through New York Folklore, developing his new work, Songs Born of Tradition.

All percussion instruments will be provided by Troy Savings Bank Music Hall, making the workshop accessible for all participants.
