“One of the most profound choreographers of his generation…richly expressive and endlessly kinetic...a vocabulary drawn from many parts of the African diaspora.”
— The New York Times
“His work feels timeless and of the moment, all at once…poetic and spiritually uplifting”
– The Washington Post
Hailed as a “modern dance savior” by the New York Times, Ronald K. Brown’s extraordinary work fuses the form, rhythm, and history of African dance with contemporary and urban dance styles. Coming to Nashville following its world premiere at the prestigious Kennedy Center, Brown’s latest work The Equality of Night and Day features an original score by acclaimed jazz pioneer Jason Moran, set to spoken word by educator and activist Angela Davis. This new work is the third installment in a trilogy examining balance, equity, and fairness for young people, women, and people of color in modern society. The program also includes Brown’s legendary dance work Grace, originally choreographed for Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, set to a score featuring powerful music from Duke Ellington, Fela Kuti, and Jennifer Holliday, among others.
