For 25 years Harlem Stage’s signature dance series, E-Moves, has brought together phenomenal artists of color to showcase their movement-based creations. On the occasion of Harlem Stage’s 40th Anniversary, Harlem Stage invites back to the Gatehouse artists who have been critical to the legacy of the institution’s dance programming and who serve as inspiration for the future of dance. These artists include Camille A. Brown, Ronald K. Brown, nora chipaumire, and Bill T. Jones.

First presented in E-Moves in 2004, celebrated director and choreographer Camille A. Brown returns to Harlem Stage’s flagship dance series to curate works on the theme of BLACK JOY by associate choreographers in her theater and commercial work who are pursuing their own careers in the field — Chloe Davis, Juel D. Lane, Mayte Natalio, Rickey Tripp, and Maleek Washington. Brown will also present TURF featuring her “tour de force” (The New York Times) company, Camille A. Brown & Dancers. Join us for this special evening of dance celebrating the conclusion of Harlem Stage’s 40th Anniversary Season!
