DESCRIPTION:April 24, 25, 26 & May 1, 2, 2020\n\nFRI/SAT at 7:30pm\n\nSUN 4/26 at 2:00pm\n\n\nAnnual Dance Concert\n\nDirected by Betsy Fisher\n\nRise Up! presents dance as a potent expression of social consciousness and features choreography by seminal dance figures Pearl Primus, Donald McKayle, Anna Sokolow, and more. \n\nLewis Allan’s poem about lynchings, “Strange Fruit,” also recorded as a single by Billie Holiday, will be embodied in Primus’ powerful choreography. \n\nMcKayle’s majestic “I’ve Known Rivers” and Sokolow’s riveting “Steps of Silence” will also take the stage. \n\nAudience input will influence a work choreographed by UH Manoa dance faculty entitled “Vote.” \n\nThe age of Aquarius dawns in part two, with selections from the 1968 Broadway hit, Hair, accompanied by a live rock band with choreography and musical direction by Honolulu’s own Andrew Sakaguchi. \n\nRise Up! shows in colorful, imaginative action, that dance creates powerful and glorious social statements.
