VOTE! is a dance production that activates spaces and engages audiences with thought provoking movement exploring African American history. As part of this year’s Black History theme, African Americans and the Vote, the audience will experience traditions of African American culture from West Africa to southern Baptist Churches as well as exploring the elements of Hip-hop to Afrofuturism.
The end of the performance includes a Q&A between the audience, performers and the producer. The performance will include a voter registration engagement.
Choreographer and AIRIE Fellow 2018 Dale Andree will activate the shores of Long Pine Key with a new, never before performed interactive dance performance, focusing on tempo and the flow of movement that comes with congregating and separating. Audience members, musicians and dancers will interact during this call and response activation of the pinelands, followed by a Q&A in the newly renovated Long Pine Key Amphitheater.
Dancers include Rebecca Pelham, Katie Brennan, Barbie Freeman, Emily Ricca, and Sun Young Park. Live music by Roy Robinson.
