  3. Lyric Fire: Dunbar In Motion


Choreographer Dianne McIntyre’s exquisite choreography, LYRIC FIRE puts into physical motion the poetry of Dayton’s own Paul Laurence Dunbar, the first African-American poet to achieve international fame. Performed in period costume, the dance paints a moving and vibrant picture of the poet’s life during the late 1800s. The dancers bring to life the poet himself, his creative muse and his most loved poems, including the thought provoking “We Wear the Mask,” and other favorites like “When Malindy Sings.” Set to music by Scott Joplin and William Grant Still, two of America’s most prized black composers, LYRIC FIRE is an exquisite celebration of artistic African-American accomplishment through dance and movement. Based on the poetry of Paul Laurence Dunbar and produced by the Dayton Contemporary Dance Company.
