FROM THE CENTER FOR ARTS & CULTURE AT RESTORATION: - In celebration of the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., The Center for Arts & Culture at Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation presents a traditional staple in arts and culture, “Garment of Destiny” on Saturday, January 14, 2017 at 7PM by the 15-member Restoration Dance Youth Ensemble (RDYE) under the artistic leadership of internationally renowned choreographers and dancers - Ronald K. Brown and Arcell Cabuag. The stunning signature performances offer a new generation of young dancers the opportunity to preserve our rich heritage and look to their role in building on that legacy in the future. The evening begins with a pre-show conversation led by Brooklyn’s own Dr. Clarence Taylor, Civil Rights Scholar at 6PM, moderated by Dr. Indira Etwaroo, Executive Director, The Center for Arts & Culture at Restoration. The concert and pre-show conversation will be presented at the Kumble Theater at LIU, One University Plaza, Brooklyn, NY.
“At this time of extraordinary transition and uncertainty in our country, we deepen our commitment to the next generation of artists with work such as this,” stated Dr. Etwaroo. “We know that the voices of our young people are critical in ensuring that the ‘dream’ that Dr. King spoke about continues to move towards becoming a reality.”
Dr. King’s ideals have served as a roadmap to voices of creative expression for generations and the Restoration Dance Youth Ensemble moves forward in the spirit of this great 20th century Civil Rights leader with works choreographed by Brown and Cabuag, as well as veteran choreographers/instructors Nathan Trice, Alia Kache, Karen Thornton, and Shayla Caldwell. The company will also dance alongside professional guest artists from EVIDENCE, A Dance Company with solos performed by some of the talented RDYE students.
