About Danger Run

Description

Danger Run, a dance in four sections, is set against a vivid painted backdrop that unfurls throughout the piece. Images of Africa and its Diaspora in the Americas spill one onto another; a winding mysterious pathway flows uninterrupted through the multifaceted environment resting finally within the receiving embrace of two ancestral figures. These dominating figures, revealed on the backdrop, are the two leading dancers within the choreography. They remain a binding presence throughout the four sections.

1. Many Thousand Gone
2. Run Brother Run
