Lincoln Center out of Doors/Damrosch Park Bandshell
August 2
Director/Choreographer Camille A. Brown and her company, Camille A. Brown and Dancers present the critically acclaimed Mr. TOL E. RAncE. This work is “…inspired by Mel Watkins’ book, On the Real Side: From Slavery to Chris Rock, Spike Lee’s movie Bamboozled, and Dave Chappelle’s “dancing vs. shuffling” analogy. The evening-length dance theater work celebrates African-American humor, examines “the mask” of survival and the “double consciousness” (W.E.B. DuBois) of the black performer throughout history and the stereotypical roles dominating current popular black culture,” according to the release. Music is by Brandon McCune, Kurt “KC” Clayton, Jonathan Melville Pratt, and Scott Patterson (piano). There will be a Talkback session with Camille A. Brown following the performance.
NOTE: Performance time is scheduled for 8:15 pm***However, the time approximate as this performance follows an opening concert set for 7 pm by Stew & the Negro Problem. Find out more here
