Come and experience the sound of 1963! Behind every movement, is a soundtrack that mobilizes and inspires the leaders to the soldiers. From “Freedom Now” to “Keep on Pushin,” music has always been a reflection of our social landscape.
Join us as we present a millennial response to the year explored through music featuring Blitz the Ambassador & Abiodun Oyewole from The Last Poets & an 18-piece orchestra. Along with a visual experience that is sure to leave you reflecting on our past. Re-live the classics with new arrangements that were popular a few years prior to the year, during the year and immediately following.

This summer the River To River Festival and The Joyce Theater will present the U.S. premiere of Le Grand Continental by Montréal-based choreographer Sylvain Émard at the South Street Seaport. This exciting performance brings together 200+ participants of all ages, ethnicities and backgrounds – dancers and non-dancers alike – to perform a contemporary re-imagining of a traditional festive line dance.

The work of Garth Fagan is stunning. The movement, the choreography, the energy, is just breathtaking. You have to see this for yourself.

In continuing our support for Delroy Lindo, experience “Represent & Redefine”. A video installation at Brooklyn Museum. Now showing.
Delroy Lindo is no stranger in our home. We’ve watched him on our television screen play the witchcraft doctor in Devil’s Advocate or West Indian Archie in Malcolm X. Do you remember when he played Aaliyah’s dad in Romeo Must Die? Or when he was a special guest on The Simpsons? Read more about Delroy Lindo and meet him up close and personal this Thursday at Live & Outspoken in Brooklyn, NY. We only have a few tickets left. www.651arts.org
