Dancers who Matter
Wednesday, December 2nd, 2015
VH1 has Stevie J and Motown had Stevie Wonder, but for our money, we give our props to Stevie Amazing (aka Steve Humprhey). Steve has been a dancer with Garth Fagan’s company for over 40 years. Garth Fagan Dance is celebrating 45 years this year and kicked off their Rochester season on Wednesday. Glad we know this dude, he’s an inspiration. Big up Steve.

Reenah L. Golden discusses urban education following her performance in No Child… at Syracuse Stage
I finally got a chance to see the production of No Child… (written by Nilaja Sun) at Syracuse Stage on Saturday. The one-act play features Rochester-native Reenah L. Golden, an actor, poet, activist and educator as the sole performer of nearly 20 characters in a play within a play set in a New York City school.
The direction by Timothy Bond, which featured a photo montage of various Syracuse School district locations, and the post show dialogue with the audience, made for a wonderful theater experience.
Gospel Remix: Of Jesus, For Jesus, by His Disciples
Wednesday, September 10th, 2008
Thanks to the leadership of Joy Community Church in Rochester, NY for their decision to host the Gospel Hip Hop Festival last weekend. We finally got a chance to see Renewed Disciples and they were certainly a crowd favorite. In addition to the music, the festival stayed true to the spirit of the movement by including dance and graffiti art as well. We were particular impressed with the artists Sno and Oz, who were given an old van to serve as their canvas.
Thanks also to cousin Marcus, who told us about this event.
