The Charleston Gaillard Center and International African American Museum Present:
DANCE THEATRE OF HARLEM
with musicians from the Charleston Symphony
Don’t miss the Southeast premiere of Dance Theatre of Harlem’s newest work! Featuring a new commission by the Charleston Gaillard Center and the International African American Museum, two performance evenings will feature live orchestral music and remixed 1950s compositions from jazz luminary Hazel Scott, all punctuated by Dance Theatre of Harlem’s signature style fusing a modern interpretation of the classical art form.
Dance Theatre of Harlem is a leading dance institution of unparalleled global acclaim, encompassing a professional touring company, a leading studio school, and a national and international education and community outreach program. Each component of Dance Theatre of Harlem carries a solid commitment towards enriching the lives of young people and adults around the world through the arts. Founded in 1969 by Arthur Mitchell and Karel Shook, Dance Theatre of Harlem is considered “one of ballet’s most exciting undertakings” (The New York Times). Shortly after the assassination of The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Mitchell was inspired to start a school that would offer children — especially those in Harlem, the community in which he was born — the opportunity to learn about dance and the allied arts. Now in its sixth decade, Dance Theatre of Harlem has grown into a multi-cultural dance institution with an extraordinary legacy of providing opportunities for creative expression and artistic excellence that continues to set standards in the performing arts. Dance Theatre of Harlem has achieved unprecedented success, bringing innovative and bold new forms of artistic expression to audiences in New York City, across the country and around the world.
