Enjoy a live dance performance, a conversation about art and dance, and more as we celebrate “Dancing Shoes” an artwork by Los Angeles-based artist Michael Rippens. Rippens will be joined by Malaya, a celebrated ensemble of traditional Filipino dancers who will perform Pandanggo sa Ilaw and Tinikling, the dance that inspired his work. Originating in the Visayas islands of the Philippines, Tinikling challenges the dancers to avoid a pair of bamboo poles slapped together rhythmically at the height of their ankles.Sining at Sayaw will feature dancers Brian Arellano, Cherryl Davis, Liana de Guzman, Lisa de Guzman, and Reggie de Guzman. There will be a Q&A after their performance, and artist Michael Rippens will speak about his work.
This free event will take place in the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art at 1 p.m. on Saturday, November 22. Everyone is welcome. Places may be limited and registration is recommended. The RSVP link is on this page under "Tickets." Parking on the UNLV Maryland Parkway campus around the Museum is free of charge on weekends. “Dancing Shoes” is on view in Living Here, an exhibition supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts. Additional support is generously provided by Evan Louie, Bill Shihara, and the Lieutenant Erik Lloyd Family.
