Dayton Contemporary Dance Company (DCDC) – Dayton’s internationally celebrated cultural gem – presents REFLECTIONS, a concert of dances that illuminate the drive, passion, and joy of what it means to be uniquely and proudly African American.
Placing another Dayton and world premiere under its belt, DCDC presents Promised Land, a layered, complex, and hopeful reflection on the African American journey through movement. Taking inspiration from a speech given by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. at the University of Dayton in 1964, Promised Land encourages an examination of our relationships and responsibilities to democracy.
Returning to the stage is Sir Warren Spears’ powerful tribute to the Tuskegee Airmen, On the Wings Of Angels. Seven young men, hopeful and determined to be part of the USA war effort, as dignified, patriotic Americans, are seen training, dreaming, buddying up, and, finally, flying. Spears’ work is full of sweeping ensembles, sinewy supports, and bounding leaps that never seem to touch the ground.
Opening DCDC’s season of Dancing In Our Light, REFLECTIONS is storytelling in motion, memory, and meaning. Whether you’re discovering DCDC for the first time or have followed the company for years, this is the kind of performance that leaves you changed.
