Ronald K. Brown Evidence, a Dance Company at Ordway Center for the Performing Arts

Founded in Brooklyn, New York in 1985, the dance company Evidence focuses on the seamless fusion of traditional African dance with contemporary choreography and spoken word. The company’s work provides a unique view of human struggles, tragedies and triumphs. Brown uses movement as a way to reinforce the importance of community in African American culture and to acquaint audiences with the beauty of traditional African forms and rhythms. A highlight of the evening will be On Earth Together, a piece co-commissioned by the Ordway and inspired by the music of Stevie Wonder.
