Harnessing the success of a sold-out, three-week, Off-Broadway run in New York City, Step Afrika! brings its incredible 2017-2018 season to a close with nine performances of its critically acclaimed production—THE MIGRATION: Reflections on Jacob Lawrence! ________
THE MIGRATION conceptualizes painter Jacob Lawrence’s groundbreaking “The Migration Series” as an interdisciplinary work with lightning-fast claps, intricate footwork, percussive chants, and perfect synchronicity.
The performance blends body percussion, tap and modern dance, spoken word, projected images of Lawrence’s paintings, and live gospel singers, drummers and jazz players to chart the story of African-American migrants moving from the South to the North—the largest mass migration in US history. _______
