OZ Arts will present three performances of the new work, TEND, along with previous works by Ronald K Brown: MERCY and GRACE. Performances will take place February 10, 11, 12, 2022 at OZ Arts Nashville, and a master class will be presented for free on Saturday, February 12, and a post-performance discussion Friday, February 11. Hailed as a “modern dance savior” by the New York Times, Ronald K. Brown’s extraordinary work fuses the form, rhythm, and history of African dance with contemporary dance styles. Coming to Nashville following its acclaimed engagement at the prestigious Kennedy Center, Brown’s latest work The Equality of Night and Day: First Glimpse features an original score by acclaimed jazz pioneer Jason Moran, set to spoken word by educator and activist Angela Davis.
