Suite Orleans

Suite Orleans is a dance theatre experience conceived and directed by Mrs. Tianna Sykes. Suite Orleans originally premiered on April 2nd, 2016 at the Contemporary Arts Center in New Orleans, Louisiana. It was then that the vision to expand the work into a full-length dance production and collaborative theatre experience was conceptualized. As a dance educator and arts advocate with a mission to positively affect the lives of young aspiring artists, Mrs. Sykes is excited to collaborate with students of the Academy for Performing and Visual Arts at Heritage High School.
Picture

A chronological homage to the history and culture of New Orleans, Suite Orleans subtly examines ideas of culture, history and identity, as well as the impact of cultural displacement. Suite Orleans engages a new vocabulary for southern choreographic storytelling as it celebrates the unique city of New Orleans and its impact on American culture.


The work pushes the boundaries of dance to create a multi-media experience of rich text and spoken word, visual imagery and live music. Through a collaborative artistic process that combines the art forms of dance, music, and theatre, the performers of Suite Orleans reflect the synthesis of Afro-Caribbean and European culture that is the heart and soul of New Orleans.


Suite Orleans displays historical content through a contemporary lens and is a dance theatre experience interwoven with the essence of New Orleans’ rich history and culture.
