_VISIONS _CONTEMPORARY BALLET PRESENTS IN TRUTH AND IN LIGHT, a
thought-provoking, moving dance concert of uplifting, heartfelt works.
The evening’s performance features a new ballet choreographed by
Ranardo-Domeico Grays, VISIONS founder/artistic director,
recently commissioned by the Jamaica Center for Arts & Learning for
the Making Moves Dance Festival 2021 ~ To Life. With music by
Vir-Amicus, Patrick Avalon and Terence Trent D'Arby, Shattered
Lives is about vulnerability, devastation and lack of control while
facing unfortunate events and negative situations. The company will
also perform two other heartfelt works: Still Healing, inspired by
stories of people who experience pain and suffering through no fault
of their own, yet they persevere, and Roots, rooted in prayer, about
self-growth.
Grays, a Harlem-based African American choreographer and brain cancer
survivor whose inspirational work centers around humanity and life,
says it is exciting that the company is back on stage to uplift,
celebrate diversity, and promote healing. Rooted in African American
heritage with multicultural influences, the company can be enjoyed by
audiences of all ages, abilities, communities and backgrounds.
In Truth and In Light is made possible in part with public funds
from Creative Engagement, supported by the New York City Department
of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and
administered by LMCC.
Per NEW YORK City requirement, all attendees must show proof of being
fully vaccinated against COVID-19 upon entry.
All tickets may be purchased online in advance through Eventbrite
until one hour before show time. After that, any available tickets
may be purchased at the door for $25 in cash only.
