Ronald K. Brown/EVIDENCE – 40th Anniversary Celebration

The Billie honors 40 years of Ronald K. Brown’s groundbreaking choreography with a celebratory weekend of performances, conversation, and community movement workshops.

Hailed as a “modern dance savior” by the New York Times, Brown is a "son" of Brooklyn and has remained rooted in his home community of Bedford Stuyvesant. His longstanding partnership with The Billie is a full circle moment for the famed choreographer and, as a young child, he took his earliest dance classes at Restoration.

Additionally, more than 40 years ago, he was invited by former Director of the Youth Arts Academy Peggy Alston to make his dance home in the same dance studios of his youth. In 1985, Brown founded EVIDENCE, a dance company dedicated to connecting audiences to the rich history, traditions, and complex stories of African Americans and the African Diaspora.

TICKETS: $25 performances, $10 student tickets w/ID at the box office
