Lifted is a new hip-hop dance theater production by Rennie Harris Puremovement that features gospel music and house dance to explore contemporary issues of community and spirituality. Loosely based on the story of Oliver Twist, Lifted follows a young black man who is surrounded and supported by his church community. With choreography by Rennie Harris and music directed by Steven Sapp and Mildred Ruiz-Sapp, Lifted merges the rhythms of house with the spiritual vocals of gospel to create an epic dance narrative. Estimated artist fee: $20,000/performance, $30,000/week.
