Beginning May 25, the troupe will celebrate with “DanceAfrica: Remember! Honor! Respect! An African Dance Odyssey” at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. There’s a whole lot more than just dance going on that weekend, though: the celebration will include film, sculpture, crafts, poetry readings, storytelling and more.
“It’s more than just sitting in your seat,” DanceAfrica Artistic Director Chuck Davis told GO Brooklyn. “It’s a celebration. That’s what I love about DanceAfrica. It’s a community event that allows people from all over the world to come together to share in this hands-on performance.”
“DanceAfrica: Remember! Honor! Respect! An African Dance Odyssey” will be performed on May 25 at 7:30 pm May 26 and 27 at 2 pm at the BAM Howard Gilman Opera House (30 Lafayette Ave., at Ashland Place in Fort Greene). Tickets are $20-$45. For information, call (718) 636-4100 or visit www.bam.org.
