Ronald K. Brown

Arts
in Education program manager Diana Green
talks with Ronald K. Brown, artistic director of
Evidence,
A Dance Company before his performance at
the Samford University Wright Center during the 2012
Alabama Dance Festival. The interview is a
sneak preview into the process of this
well-known choreographer from Brooklyn, New
York. His work is a seamless fusion of
traditional African dance with contemporary
choreography and spoken word. It provides a
unique view of human struggles, tragedies, and
triumphs. Brown uses movement as a way to
reinforce the importance of community in African
American culture and to acquaint audiences with
the beauty of traditional African forms and
rhythms. The depth of human experience that
has become the inspiration for his work is
evident as he speaks about why he creates.
