“The music we’re doing now works well in quiet places like theaters and performing art centers. We still don’t use a program or a set list so we don’t know what we’ll do until we do it. Please do not expect old songs. Many singers my age do a retrospective; this show is not like that. It’s mostly stuff made up in the last 3 and 4 years. Some of the songs presented might be in different languages; this is not to be esoteric or clever, it’s because the different languages help me express different feelings sometimes. One last thing, my idea of a good show has nothing to do with applause. It’s about if all the songs I sang that night were ones that I felt.” – Jonathan

About The African American Dance Company Presents: HIStory, HERstory, Our Story
The final installment of “HIStory, HERstory, Our Story” shows the evolution of the African American Dance Company since its inception in 1974. Through captivating dance and documentary, we better understand how dance is used through resistance, celebration, and transition. Paired with archival footage is a panel discussion consisting of the inaugural director, Professor Iris Rosa; current director Baba Stafford C. Berry Jr.; and AADC alum. Audience members are encouraged to participate in the Q&A after the screening.
AADC Dance Excerpts (2024, 60 min): Following Because We Are, enjoy this collection of four dances from throughout the African American Dance Company’s history.
Because We Are (Dir. Ashley Hayes, 2024, 19 min): Because We Are follows the story of the African American Dance Company during their 50th season at their annual Kukusanya intensive workshop, a time of gathering together in community as the term kukusanya evokes. It also invites viewers into the world of the Dance Company, its members, and their practice of ubuntu, the essence of the Africanist principle that “I am, because we are.”
