Ronald K. Brown/Evidence

“I want my work to be evidence of people’s lives,” says Ronald K. Brown, the remarkable performer and prominent choreographer of American modern dance. At the age of nineteen he founded his troupe, Evidence, to tell his stories through the universal language of dance. During his 20-year career, he has established himself as an original choreographer, innovative and influential. His diverse idiom incorporates a wide array of movements ranging from traditional ballet pas to hip-hop to West African dances. Brown’s dance stories, notable for their vitality and directness, draw attention to social issues and explore spiritual themes.

The three-dance program presented by Ronald K. Brown/Evidence at the Kennedy Center Eisenhower Theater included two of Brown’s new pieces and his signature work, Grace.
