Earlier this week, Joyce Programming Associate Laura Diffenderfer sat down with George Faison, Matthew Rushing, and Ronald K. Brown, three of the four phenomenal choreographers who have set work on Philadanco for the company’s current engagement at The Joyce Theater (the fourth choreographer whose work will also be featured is Rennie Harris).
The choreographers had a spirited discussion about Nina Simone, the inspiration for Mr. Rushing’s new work, Moan; what it means to be a choreographer; common links through Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and Porgy and Bess; and much more.
Loved this! Thanks!
