BAAD!Ass Women Festival

BAAD!Ass Women Festival (BAW), celebrates the empowerment of women through art, culture and performance.

<p>This program brings together three dance artists—Awilda Rodriguez-Lora, Priscilla Marrero, and Megan Curet—to discuss works rooted in Caribbean traditions. Through their work, they challenge how Western dance training has colonized the pelvis and gendered dance, reclaiming movement grounded in Afro-Caribbean forms like Bomba, Bamboula, and Orisha dance as sites of resistance and ancestral knowledge. They explore cultural intersections and colonial histories, revealing how artists reclaim their bodies through dance. They both honor ancestral traditions while transforming the pelvis into a site of resistance, power, and embodied knowledge through hybrid or shared movement vocabularies, histories and research.</p>
