Legendary singer and civil rights activist Mavis Staples is an
alchemist of American music, and has continuously crossed genre
lines like no musician since Ray Charles. Weaving herself into the
very fabric of gospel, soul, folk, pop, R&B, blues, rock, and even
hip hop over the better part of the last 60 years, the iconic singer
has seen and sung through many cultural shifts, always delivering
a performance that leaves the crowd wanting more.

“One of the 100 greatest singers of all time.”

              In 1970, two towering personalities of the American intelligentsia, black author
              and social critic James Baldwin and white anthropologist Margaret Mead, sat
              together and recorded a conversation on what is arguably the defining subject
              of the American experience – race. Now over 40 years later, two contemporary
              artistic icons Anna Deavere Smith (best known for her documentary theater style
              in plays such as “Fires in the Mirror” and “Twilight: Los Angeles”) and legendary
              choreographer Donald Byrd (Tony-nominated and Bessie Award-winning Director/
              Choreographer) re-imagine this monumental moment in history into a genre-
              obliterating evening of “theater for the 21st century.” In this groundbreaking
              production featuring the world-renowned dancers of Spectrum Dance Theater,
              actress Julie Briskman as Mead and Donald Byrd as Baldwin, “A Rap on Race”
              excavates the truths buried in the facts of this cultural artifact.

           One of the premiere Odissi dance ensembles performing

           today, Nrityagram has the unprecedented distinction of making
           the The New York Times’ “Best Dance of the Year” list two
           consecutive years in a row (2015 and 2016). More than a dance
           company, Nrityagram was founded in a village devoted to
           dance. The all-female troupe’s daily life of intensive training
           and meditation brings to the stage compelling performances
           that are at once sensual and lyrical. Infused with the
           intoxicating rhythms of traditional music, their sinuous forms
           and rapt expressions transform the dancers into gods on stage.
