Indygo Afi Ngozi, original name Andréa A César (born August 6, 1993, Port-au-Prince, Haiti) is an interdisciplinary and multidimynsional movement artist and choreographer.
Indygo relocated to the U.S. in 2009 where she completed her secondary education. She currently holds a Bachelor of Science from SUNY New Paltz, a Masters of Arts from the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University and a Master of Arts in Dance Education, including a New York State Pre-K-12 Dance Education Professional Certificate from Hunter College.
Indygo seeks to create work that continues to investigate the nuances found in the intersectionality between choreography, poetry and vulnerability. As an artist, she believes that she is first human; as such she engages her audience to explore what is found in-between spaces of humanness, allowing it to guide her in developing new understanding of the human experience. Her work lies in storytelling, unfolding what it means to be multidimynsional in today’s culture and society.
As an educator her focus lies in providing all students with a creative and engaging dance/movement education experience enabling them to channel their creativity, imagination and discover parts of themselves through movements.
For Us, the Humans of the World Who Aren’t Afraid to Live In-Between Spaces is chapter two of a khoreowords movement series that seeks to explore the nuances of vulnerability through the intersectionality of storytelling, poetry and dance.
“It was a pleasure and an honor to be part of Performance Mix Festivals #31 (Infinite Corridor) and #36 (Meeting the Moai: Head Over Heels.) In both instances, the artists were made to feel welcomed and truly celebrated for their work, as reflected by attention to publicity, technical needs, and convivial gatherings.This festival truly practices diversity, equity, and inclusion, as manifested in their roster of performing artists each year. Big thanks to New Dance Alliance, Karen Bernard, and the entire Performance Mix Festival team who make it such a fulfilling and joyful experience for artists and audiences alike.”
