One Shot // Ronald K. Brown/EVIDENCE

Last night, I saw Ronald K. Brown/EVIDENCE dance company's performance, One Shot, at BRIC Arts Media Center in downtown Brooklyn.

Inspired by the life and work of noted photographer Charles "Teenie" Harris, who documented black life in Pittsburgh from 1936 to 1975, the piece incorporated video projections and Brown's classic West African, Afro-Cuban, and modern dance vocabulary.

They were luminous. I've been a fan of his for over a decade now and it's so beautiful watching the company change over time, and my favorite dancers come and go and come back again--like Keon Thoulouis, whose solos were phenomenal.
