Rennie Harris Puremovement
American Street Dancer
Mar 14-15
Rennie Harris, “the most brilliant hip-hop choreographer in America” (The New Yorker) and our 24/25 season artist-in-residence, returns with the world premiere of a commissioned work, American Street Dancer, honoring the impact of street dance on the arts world. From the father of street dance, Master Juba, to the influence of this style on tap legends like Savion Glover, hip hop has contributed to theatre, film and culture globally, cementing its place in our history. Backed by a hip-hop orchestra of bucket and hand bone players, beat boxers and DJs, American Street Dancer will feature street and tap dancers celebrating styles from across the U.S. – jitting (Detroit), footwork (Chicago) and GQ (Philadelphia).
