In this episode (036), I speak to Choreographer, Lecturer, Dance Advocate and Content Creator, Maria Hitchins (@ladysoundchat) about the preservation of Jamaican culture. As a performer since her childhood, Maria is well-suited to discuss this topic, which is very dear to her heart. Her group, ‘Dancers of Jamaica’ (@dancersofjamaica), is just one of the many ways that she demonstrates performance advocacy, highlighting the achievements of Jamaican dancers across the world. The conversation traverses what was, what is, and how we can create a better future for the preservation of one of the most revered cultures in the world.
