A dynamic evening of artistry and fierce dancing explodes onto the stage as part of the Richmond production of RE-GENERATE. This performance will showcase two days of astonishing dance works from African American artistic directors Charles O. Anderson, founder of Dance Theatre X (PA), Camille A. Brown founder of Camille A. Brown & Dancers, Duane Cyrus, founder of Cyrus Art Production (NC), Iquail Shaheed, founder of DANCE IQUAIL! (NYC) and Christian von Howard.
The RE-GENERATE project was founded by Christian von Howard, assistant professor in the Department of Dance and Choreography , and Iquail Shaheed in 2008 and premiered in New York City in 2009 at the Alvin Ailey Citigroup Theater. The mission of the project is to bring together artistic directors of African American decent and their dance companies in order to collectively present a dance concert that represents a current yet historic viewpoint on dance as art. These directors and other invited choreographers creatively converge to elevate, enrich and empower enthusiastic audiences. Together these richly distinct dance artists are dedicated to the pursuit of artistic excellence and the accessibility of the performing arts to everyone.
The show is on Friday and Saturday, October 15-16, 2010 at the Grace Street Theater, 934 West Grace Street. You may purchase tickets online or by calling the box office at (804) 828-2020.
