In his new work in progress, Crossroads, Omari Mizrahi honors the obstacles one must face in life. The work will be built on the human experience of moving through life’s difficulties and aim to expose its vulnerabilities and fears. How will you judge us as we fearlessly let you in?

Ousmane Wiles (aka Omari Mizrahi), born in Senegal, began his training in West African dance at the age of 6. He then joined with his mother and father Marie Basse Wiles and Anthony Olukose Wiles, known masters in West African dance. Ousmane continued his training with his parent’s company, The Maimouna Ketia School of African Dance, as a member of the children’s company.
