The Nashville-based dance company PYDANCE was founded by Asia Pyron to perform her choreographic creations and create theatrical dance performances. Asia’s research-based work is inspired by historical events, pop culture, and personal investigation. PYDANCE productions instill the audience with an experience of curiosity and excitement for storytelling through bodily movement exploration.

The James is thrilled to present “Pool,” an original PYDANCE production expressing how people fall into the system of racism and racialization featuring the music of Fela Kuti.
