Weaving together deep personal experiences and an original score by composer Damien Sneed, Associate Artistic Director Matthew Rushing, Company member and Assistant Rehearsal Director Clifton Brown, and former Company member Yusha-Marie Sorzano present Testament—a tribute to Alvin Ailey’s Revelations that follows a community of people turning pain into power and lament into hope.
