🕺🏿💗🌿 #ArtIsAWeapon #DancingIsFreedom Reposted from @sadlers_wells (H/t @lolaschild #OnlyArtCan) In a violent world, 'Ode' is a reflection on the beauty and fragility of life 🥀 Our #workoftheweek is by choreographer Jamar Roberts. 'Ode' was created as a poetic tribute to the victims of violence in America. It premiered in New York last year, and strikes a particularly powerful chord today. 'Ode' is performed by an ensemble of male dancers from Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater [@alvinailey]. The company remains one of the most important influences in the history of dance, celebrating the uniqueness of the African-American cultural experience. We all have a part to play in ending racism. #BlackLivesMatter Link in bio to watch the full work. #dance #Dancers #BlackDancers #contemporarydance #ode #alvinailey #dancetheatre #EndRacism #ArtistsReflectingTheTimes #jamarroberts #choreography #TraScapades #ArtIsAWeapon https://www.instagram.com/p/CDNHgHSgrKM/?igshid=1sncra7i3z5fg
