Event Details:
Immerse yourself in the fluid eloquence and highly anticipated Northrop onstage debut of Ronald K. Brown/EVIDENCE. For this 40th anniversary celebration honoring Ronald K. Brown, one of our generation?s most highly sought-after choreographers, EVIDENCE will be joined by esteemed local trailblazer TU Dance. This exceptional program will showcase the transformative works of Brown, whose choreography has been hailed as ?richly expressive and irresistibly kinetic? (The New York Times).
The evening features Where the Light Shines Through, a soul-stirring piece commissioned by TU Dance in 2017 that tells a story of solidarity and perseverance, set to traditional music recorded by Conjunto Folklórico Nacional de Cuba and other world music artists. Next on the program is Percussion Bitter Sweet: Tender Warriors, a 2024 commission honoring drummer, composer, and activist Max Roach on the occasion of his centennial birthday. The program concludes with Brown?s seminal masterwork Grace (1999), his first commission for the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, a beloved classic showcasing Brown at the height of his artistic powers.
This unforgettable evening brings to the stage two powerhouse companies, dancing in three masterful works, woven together by the rhythms, traditions, and cultural narratives of the African diaspora.
