Ronald K. Brown pays tribute to Artistic Director Emerita Judith Jamison’s profound influence with this work that echoes the title of Jamison’s autobiography. Set to music by Duke Ellington, Wynton Marsalis, and War, Brown’s evocative choreography uses movement from Cuba, Brazil, and the United States to conjure dancing spirits who embody Jamison’s elegance, vision, dignity, and generosity.
The new production of Dancing Spirit is supported by Dr. Crawford Parker and the Kansas City Friends of Alvin Ailey through the generosity of its donors.
