Ron K. Brown/Evidence
Order My Steps, Grace, Come Ye
Stirring and powerful, joyous and meditative, infectious and utterly beautiful— there are not enough lovely words in the English language to describe the work of New York’s celebrated Ronald K. Brown and his company, EVIDENCE. The three dances on this program emanate from a deeply spiritual place. In each, Brown’s glorious sense of musicality, virtuosic choreography and signature polyglot African-club-ballet-modern style, underscore a search for peace, meaning and joy in life. Developed with hip-hop poet Chad Boseman,
Order my Steps is an urgent plea for a“calling.” Come Ye, inspired by the music and sociopolitical legacies of Nina Simone and Fela Kuti, is both a warrior dance and a prayer for peace. Grace, choreographed for the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and now considered a masterpiece in the Ailey repertory, is set to the music of Duke Ellington, Roy Davis Jr. and Fela Kuti. Brown has invented a whole new dance vocabulary—and it speaks volumes. If you’re not a dance fan, this program will convert you. If you are, you simply can’t afford to miss this rare Bay Area appearance by one of this generation’s most important dance makers.
