“The story of East Harlem is the story of how American music is made.

It’s where mambo, salsa, and boogaloo converged to give rise to iconic hits like “I Like It Like That,” “Oye Cómo Va,” and “Boogaloo Blues.” It’s where cultures came together and artists who challenged the musical status quo found pride, passion, and possibility on every block…” 2025-08-12 09:58:42 .. 21 -67% 0 -100%

ABSTRACT
This dissertation project deeply investigates the cultural practices and meaning making that are performed by the predominantly Black, Los Angeles-based, concert jazz dance company, JazzAntiqua Dance and Music Ensemble. In conversation with the fields of dance studies, rhetorical arts, and Black radical thought, this research pursues the question of how rhetoric is embodied through movement vocabularies that emerge from marginalized populations.

Specifically, this project examines how artistic director Pat Taylor, through enacting a jazz philosophy and a jazz-centric approach to her artistry, develops a set of jazz-informed, signature steps and creates choreographic works that embody rhetorical resistance.

Utilizing critical performance ethnographic methodologies and employing methods that incorporate the philosophical tenets of jazz this study collected data through qualitative interviews, participant observation, and choreographic analysis. 

The research argues that through an embodied practice and performance of resistance in community, rehearsals, and onstage, JazzAntiqua Dance and Music Ensemble engages in a world making practice that denounces hegemonic norms and white supremacy and promotes a more fully realized present and future where freedom is situated at the fore. 2025-07-09 03:38:41 Author: Dr. Laur.. 50 -22% 5 +20%

Performing at the PLAYBOY JAZZ FESTIVAL with the great kennygarrettofficial 🎶💜 It was JA’s 2nd appearance at the Fest and we were so honored to work with Kenny. Huge thanks to fest producer Darlene Chan. 

And we had a blast. Again! And it was trice_m.p ‘s bday. And we had to grab a pic with Miles Mosley. And sound check. And spacing rehearsal — 🙏🏾 to the band that let us space during their sound ck too — And flashbacks to the good ol’ countdown clock. And that darn passerelle aka “the catwalk”. And lots of friends in the house to celebrate with. And…
