Ronald K. Brown/Evidence and Philadelphia’s Philadanco!

The 92nd Street Y's Harkness Dance Center presents a double bill of distinguished African-American dance. Ronald K. Brown and his troupe, Evidence, perform Brown's 1998 piece Upside Down, which is set to music by the Nigerian singer Wunmi and was originally devised with Côte d'Ivoire's Rokiya Kone and her Jeune Ballet d’Afrique Noire. Joan Myers Brown's venerable Philadanco! visits from the City of Brotherly Love to make its 92NY debut with one of its most popular works, Pretty Is Skin Deep, Ugly is to the Bone, which was created for the company in 1976 by the pioneering Black modern dancer maker Talley Beatty.
