This year the Bessie's awards return to NYC and Full Circle was invited to do the opening performance for the Press Conference at Nu 42 studios.
El Museo Del Barrio commisioned Full Circle to debut the first rendtion of anew piece entitled Soul Intention on July 16th for their Super Sabado. Rehearsals were in the theater throughout the months of May, June and July. So the musicians from RPM Angel Ruben Rodriguez, Ron Prokopez and newcomer Keny Zulu accompanied the dancers as they performed new mixes to new choreography for a new concept based on the Hip-hop soloists vs ensemble work. Thank you to Alexandra Garcia and Stephanie Spahr. Big shout to Soul Junkie whose first theatrical Full Circle show was our El Museo show!
