Ronald K. Brown
& EVIDENCE
25 Year Anniversary
"On Earth..."


Ronald K. Brown and Evidence, A Dance Company celebrates 25 years with the World Premiere of "On Earth Together" at The Joyce Theater February 8-13



Over the past 25 years founder, artistic director and dancer Ronald K. Brown has had an undeniable impact on contemporary dance and continues to be a source of inspiration for the current crop of emerging choreographers. Evidence ushers in the beginning of the next 25 years with two sparkling programs including ON EARTH TOGETHER andGRACE, an audience favorite, originally created for The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater.


The Company's unmistakable aesthetic is rooted in traditional African dance, urban social dance vernacular and contemporary movement. The repertory reflects its mission to promote a deeper understanding of the human

experience in the African Diaspora and to provide sensory connections to history and tradition, spirituality, community responsibility and liberation. Earlier this year, Evidence toured Senegal, Nigeria and South Africa as one of three companies taking part in the inaugural season of DanceMotion USA, an international touring series created by BAM and the State Department's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.

Arts.Advocacy+Wellness: "Savion Glover - The Exclusive INTERVIEW"


YEAR-END Review!!!
Recapping with Mr. Savion Glover



I really enjoyed this interview and wanted to share
as we at TheFutureForward wrap up 2010!



Savion Glover -
The Exclusive INTERVIEW





Happy A.A+Wsome Wednesday FUTURE!

So it is here. My exclusive interview with tap dancer sensation/choreographer Savion Glover. Savion breaks his silence about the NYTimes critic who panned SolePower and he shares with us a little "spinning" secret (that's all I'll say!) This was a great interview and we would love to have Savion on TheFutureForward.net again. Enjoy!

Arts.Advocacy+Wellness: "UBUNTU CENTRE OPENS!!!"



Welcome

UBUNTU CENTRE!!!




Remember notes on Ubuntu by Torya Beard? I am so grateful for all of the stories Torya and Jonathan shared,

during the process of opening the center in Port Elizabeth. Well the center is finally open and we at The Future

celebrate with all the success and the work that is ahead.



On September 16, The Ubuntu Centre opened yesterday to a crowd of enthused community members, international supporters, and local officials. Hugh Masekela’s horn echoed through the halls of the Centre, drifting from the theatre

to the clinic and the furthest reaches of the education wing.

The crowd heard about the story of The Ubuntu Centre from a number of different perspectives—the architect,

Stan Field, President Jacob Lief, and Ubuntu Scholar, Bulali Kyokopu. Bulali’s poem about Ubuntu and the impact it

has had on the community brought a tearful audience to their feet for a standing ovation.

The Ubuntu Centre, which represents a $6 million investment, features a pediatric HIV clinic, community theatre, and educational centre. Solar and wind energy will be used to power the innovative building, which will also benefit from

passive heating, grey-water recycling, and other green technology.

The majority of major investments in Africa are based in wealthy cities and neighborhoods. Never before has a

beautifully designed, high-quality medical and education centre been available to the people who need it the most, in

their own backyards. The Port Elizabeth townships suffer from a 40% HIV rate and an 80% unemployment rate—the

grim legacies of apartheid. By providing necessary services in an inspiring environment, right in the townships, The

Ubuntu Centre will uplift the body, mind, and spirit of the community.
