The folkloric tradition and rhythms of Haiti come alive at The Dance Complex on April 1-2 when Jean Appolon Expressions (JEA) presents Tyaka – “a potluck party that takes the audience on a journey of dance, connection, music, and community,” according to JEA director Jean Appolon.

Tyaka is the Haitian Kreyòl name for a Haitian stew made from a hodgepodge of ingredients and is associated with festivities and family time. Tyaka will showcase different choreographers and rhythms to explore the creativeness of using all the resources on hand to mix and create something tasty and delicious.
