About this Event

IN PERSON

Choreographer, writer, director, and renowned retired member of the legendary Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Hope Boykin, combines movement with message in Another Hope Story. Highlighting her collection of work, created over many years of exploration, Hope is eagerly building, through HBArts Collective, a creative and safe environment for young artists to thrive and grow. As she continues to develop her signature movement-language, HopeBoykinDance, her project-based performance group, will share Another Hope Story with excitement for her Harlem community.
