Leah Glenn Dance Theatre is a modern dance company dedicated to cultivating a greater understanding of the world in which we live through thought-provoking works of art that entertain, inspire and challenge its audiences.
Nine is a commemorative multi-media performance piece featuring the choreography of Artistic Director Leah Glenn, in collaboration with Steve Prince (visual artist), Dr. Hermine Pinson (poet), Dr. Stephen Hayes (composer) and Mary Jo O'Shaughnessy (costumes). The work seamlessly interweaves the vocabularies of dance, visual arts, poetry and music into a narrative that celebrates the bravery and fortitude of the Little Rock Nine, the African American teenagers who desegregated Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1957.
