Continuing the Legacy 2011_2

Written and directed by COCA alumnus Chris Page, this 45-minute performance uses dance as a vehicle to take audience members through black history -- from slavery to the jazz era, through the civil rights movement, to modern times. Large photographs are projected behind the dancers and create a vivid accompaniment to the modern dance choreography. Continuing the Legacy helps audience members see, hear and feel the journey of African Americans in this country. Continuing the Legacy includes imagery that may be disturbing to young children. Recommended for grades 4+ and their parents.
