New Works/World Traditions:
Co-Directed by Michelle Bach-Coulibaly and Seydou Coulibaly is a dance, theater and music troupe whose aim to explore cultural material through the development of new theatrical works based in Mande Tradition and American Modern Dance. Many of their full- length ballets look at the West African perspective in American Concert and vernacular dance forms. New Works members have toured throughout America, West Africa and Europe giving lectures and workshops in Mande culture. Over the past six years, members of the company have traveled to Mali, West Africa to continue to do research in Mande Studies.
