VIDEO: Lights, Camera, Movement!
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., inspires a movement
On Saturday, January 14, in honor of the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the Restoration Dance Theatre Company presented, “Lights, Camera, Movement” at Long Island University’s Kumble Theatre.
Through ten dance performances, the company of 14 young dancers gave homage to Dr. King, a man who championed freedom, opportunity and justice. His vision of America is captured in his message of hope and possibility for a future anchored in dignity, sensitivity and mutual respect—a message that challenges each of us to recognize that America’s strength lies in its diversity of voices and expression.
Saturday’s production was supported in part by the ChoreoQuest Mentoring Initiative, a project of the Bedford-Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation Center for Arts and Culture that provides residencies for emerging and veteran choreographers and dance companies.
