Lula Washington Dance Theatre-Angels on Crenshaw
About this Event
Angels on Crenshaw-August Quarterly is a new site specific dance event that honors the voluntary, compassionate deed driven by empathy, to consciously choose to help, protect, or support others—particularly those in distress or vulnerability—without expecting a reward. This is a fundraiser for scholarships and on-going programs at LWDT. The event is part of our August Quarterly Celebrations which acknowledge the freedom to assemble, free speech, freedom of religious practice and the joys of family and community connection through shared stories, dance, music and food.
The August Quarterly was Established in 1814 by Peter Spencer, who had escaped enslavement and founded the Union Church of Africans, the first independent Black church in the United States; his annual gathering was important to the Underground Railroad and was a beacon of civil rights and cultural resilience in America.
