Choreographer And Dance Artist Jade Solomon Curtis To Bring BLACK LIKE ME To Marcus Performing Arts Center
By: A.A. Cristi
Black Like Me is a multidisciplinary evening length work explores the reverb of a single word in a global community. It considers the effects of the word ni --- er, all its permutations, its history and its casual use in Hip Hop culture. Comprised of 5 sections created in collaboration with two of America's leading Black media-design technologists, original sound composition and local activists; it asks if it is possible to redefine a word that was intended to belittle a people.
Black Like Me combines physical, verbal, visual and sonic language to tell five narratives and perspectives in a unique way. Inspired by present day youth and their casual use of the word ni ---- er, innovative multi-disciplined artists, visual/media design experts and digital campaign strategists come together to, in essence, combine the best of arts and sciences to enhance the singular message; ni --- er can not be transformed.For more information visit the Marcus Center website at www.MarcusCenter.org.
