The dance component of Harbourfront Centre’s Kuumba festival, marking Black History Month, riffs on the theme of Zayo! (Zulu for “future”), a reference to Afrofuturism. On February 7 at 8 pm and February 8 at 4:30 pm at the Lakeside Terrace, check out the Black Stars dance group that uses hip-hop and house music with a mix of African and Caribbean movement styles in a show that gives a glimpse of what’s to come in dance. Also free at Kuumba, a screening of the film Sun Ra: A Joyful Noise, a tribute to the great musician and his Arkestra, February 7 at 4 pm at the Studio Theatre.
