WORLD PREMIERE OF CHOREOGRAPHER RODERICK GEORGE'S THE MISSING FRUIT

The company's unique combination of movements explore the experiences of Black, indigenous, and people of color to shed light on their struggles against oppression while celebrating the resilience and joy within their communities. Dance forms, from classical ballet to breakdance to acrobatics, layer together to convey the complexity of systems and difference while seeking space for reflection and celebration.

The Missing Fruit is a part of a trilogy I am still working on, and it is a work that I have been trying to create for some years. It is inspired by the iconic Billie Holiday song and the Black Lives Matter movement. In my movement discovery, I will address the realities of systemic racism and how current events reflect the past; I also wanted to cultivate a space to showcase the discussion and celebration of Black joy. ---Roderick George
