June 1 & 2, 2019 6:00 & 8:00PM Sanchel Brown's "Home to Homeland" at Community Education Center

From Baltimore to Senegal, Sanchel Brown’s new evening length dance journey is a reminder that home is always beneath the feet.

“...from solo to unison, abstract to representational movement, movement to rhyme, rhyme to
song, song to improvisational dance to getting audience members to join in a virtuosic twerk-session—fill me with a formalist’s joy...She asks us in the talkback after the show: “Did you feel like you went somewhere?” Yes,” we yell back, grateful for the journey and the artist guides who brought us through.”
-Miryiam Coppersmith ThINKing Dance


Philadelphia, PA - In Home to Homeland, choreographer Sanchel Brown, dances, sings, raps,and raises an eyebrow as she travels from 1920’s Harlem to contemporary day time television.

Brown weaves common yet diverse movement languages of footwork, as she invites us to follow her footprints towards the meaning of Motherland. Home to Homeland includes stopssmack dab in the middle of a New Orleans second line as well as the Baltimore of Brown’s childhood.
