As part of the 4th annual Brooklyn Dance Festival, Mosley’s “Hearts of Men Ensemble,” made up of fifteen Montclair State University dance majors and alumni will present Mosley’s Wild and Free. About this all-male cast Mosley offers, “I am interested in using the movements to create a sense of brotherhood and spirit that is both calculated and chaotic at the same time. I want the audience to be on the edge of their seats and enjoy multi layers of dynamics and energy exploding on the stage!” Wild and Free is an excerpt from the full-evening work Journey. The program also includes performances by Paul Taylor 2, Martha Graham 2, The Bang Group and the Brooklyn Dance Festival Company and more. Find out more here
