As We Journey Through

Celebrate Black History Month and join Charlotte Ballet II for a contemporary dance performance and audience talkback inspired by the Smithsonian exhibition Men of Change: Power. Triumph. Truth is currently on view at Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts+Culture and Levine Museum of the New South until March 12th.

This brand new work, created by Choreographer Ashley Lindsey, focuses on the revolutionary men of color who have come before us. The achievements of the “men of change” are woven within the legacy and traditions of the African American journey—achievements of excellence in spite of society’s barriers.

The As we Journey Through performance will be followed by an engaging panel discussion. Hear the behind-the-scenes details from the show’s choreographer, Ashley Lindsey. Take in performance artist Holly Bass‘s perspective of the show as she discusses her Alvin Ailey-inspired Men of Change work. Receive foundational context of the Men of Change exhibition with its curator, Marquette Folley, content director at the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES). The esteemed panel will be hosted by Kimberly Pereira, Charlotte Ballet’s director of education & community engagement.
