Roger Lee Dance Company Presents "Artistry"!

New concert series to run September 26th and 27th at the Performance Garage in Philadelphia, PA.

Drawing inspiration from visual artist and local barber Terrance Harris, the evenings showcase 5 new works by choreographer Roger Lee. The show opens with Symphony 7, a contemporary ballet featuring special guest, and former company member, Chrysta Brown. The following work combines visual art, improvisational dance, and classical music. Concluding act 1 is a lively praise dance trio entitled Elements of Praise: Part 1, which features music from members of the hit girls group Destiny's Child. After the intermission, the second act opens up with Elements of Praise: Part 2. Following this is Vault, a group piece featuring original music by composer Paul Giess. The concert finishes with Jibaro, a group piece featuring live music from Luis Rosario. The finale pays tribute to the community songwriters of Puerto Rico.

Joining Lee on stage is his company of talented dancers, including Natalia Baxter, Areal Bell, Tiana Ligon, Jackie McLay, and Ronnique Murray, guest soloist Chrysta Brown, and live musician Luis Rosario. Each show ends with an engaging Q&A session with the company, special guests, and visual artist Terrance Harris. This will be a great opportunity to interact with the performers and artists, and to learn a little bit more about their life and their craft.

Roger Lee Dance Artistry runs Friday, September 26 and Saturday, September 27 from 8-9:30 pm at The Performance Garage.
Tickets are $23 at the door and $20 online at danceboxoffice.com.
