Baba Oludare Bernard

In this 10 minute performance, Baba Oludaré explores how water & breathing bring him back to Ori: consciousness during bouts of depression, self sabotage, and fear. Pulling from core rituals from the igbodu of Regla de Ocha- the sacred ceremonial room of Orisha, Lukumi, Baba Oludaré sings, dances, and rattles away the illusion of despair and brings life, light and a steady fire to the space. From your chair, Baba Oludaré invites you to breathe with your Ori while he breathes with his. After the performance, stay for a short discussion about Baba Oludare’s work.
