Announcing Rooted in Blackness Winter Intensive instructor, Jamie Philbert
Choreographer, Dance Artist, Cultural Researcher, Educator, Designer, Curator, and Filmmaker, Jamie Philbert is a native of Trinidad and Tobago, brought up in Bed Stuy, Brooklyn .
In 2019, she began official rites of passage journey towards becoming a bois woman, a warrior woman of Kalinda. This journey inspired her to conceptualize and develop a dance and performance technique rooted in the tradition and culture of Trinidad and Tobago's martial art form, Kalinda. This initiative is supported by and co-created with Rondel Benjamin, Founder of Bois Academy of Trinidad and Tobago and the transitioned legendary bois man, King David Matthew Brown, also known as “Acid”. Her work in this realm serves to continue the veneration of the keepers and ancestors of the tradition and empower the sustainability of this multi-dimensional cultural form. Jamie currently serves as the Director/Pointer of Bois Academy of Trinidad and Tobago. Jamie believes in the power of art and its ability to heal and create dynamic change. She dedicates all her movement and magic to the legacy of her transitioned parents, Dennis and Veronica Philbert.
Philbert-Kalinda Technique for Dance and Performance is founded on the martial and cultural living tradition of Trinidad and Tobago's Kalinda and Kalinda born forms. The technique builds dynamism through percussive movements, off-centered balancing, spiral motion, reflective reflexes, vocal, and breathwork. During the Woodshed dance online series, participants will learn traditional lavways (call and response), journal, and learn PKT movement codifications.
