Ronald K. Brown/EVIDENCE

Tue Jan 14 - Sun Jan 19

"Richly expressive and irresistibly kinetic” (New York Times), Ronald K. Brown/EVIDENCE celebrates nearly 40 years of expertly melding traditional African and Afro-Cuban dance with contemporary choreography. Invoking themes of spirituality, community, and liberation, the company returns for its home season at The Joyce with a landmark restaging of Serving Nia (2001) as well as the 25th anniversary performance of Brown’s tour-de-force masterpiece, Grace (1999), interlaces stories of a Goddess’ visit to Earth and a collective journey to the promised land. In the company premiere of  Serving Nia, the thematic sequel to Grace, Brown answers the call to serve a higher purpose than oneself through a rapturous blend of movement traditions from Senegal, Ivory Coast, and Guinea with modern dance forms.
