Eleo Pomare

Eleo Pomare (20 October 1937 – 8 August 2008) was a Colombian-American modern dance choreographer known for his politically-charged productions depicting the Black experience.

He and his mother moved from Colombia to the United States in 1947. He attended High School of Performing Arts and trained in Europe before returning to the U.S. to found the Eleo Pomare Dance Company. Notable productions include "Missa Luba" in 1965, "Blues for the Jungle" in 1966, "Las Desenamoradas" in 1967 (based on Federico García Lorca's play "The House of Bernarda Alba" set to jazz by John Coltrane), and "Narcissus Rising" in 1968.
