Join us for an incredible 8-week creative aging series with artists and cultural historians Tony and Aziza West, who will help us explore the connection between sound, movement, and cultural identity.

Join us for an incredible 8-week creative aging series with artists and cultural historians Tony and Aziza West. What sounds and movements are you drawn to and where do they come from? Tony and Aziza West will lead us through discovering different sounds and movements of cultural identity, exploring how they interact and communicate with each other, and showcasing how we can explore global traditions and cultural storytelling through music and movement.

This program is an 8-week sequential series designed for ages 50+. Attendees will gain the most out of this series by attending all (or most) of the sessions. The last session on Wednesday, October 30th will be a culminating event to showcase the music and movement explored throughout the series.

About the Artists

Baba Tony West, "Keeper of Tradition," becomes the Spirit of the Drums, and Aziza West represents the Spirit of Dance, educating as well as entertaining in a historic manner. Their journey in community building and influencing began some 40 years ago when a passion for learning and sharing the values of African culture formed as "Tony West and the Imani Dancers." They are regarded as historians of the African influence in the City of Columbus and one of Columbus' Living Legend recipients. Tony and Aziza were honored through their pictorial placement on Columbus' Long Street Cultural Wall.

Project funding provided by the Ohio Arts Council, through a grant from the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies in collaboration with E.A. Michelson Philanthropy.
