Step Afrika! stages its signature work, “The Migration: Reflections on Jacob Lawrence.”
Founded in 1994 by C. Brian Williams, Step Afrika! is the first professional company dedicated to the tradition of stepping — a polyrhythmic, percussive dance form that uses the body as an instrument.
Inspired by painter Jacob Lawrence’s (1917-2000) iconic 60-panel “The Migration Series”, this signature work from the award-winning dance company uses the images, color palette and motifs in the painting series to tell an astonishing story.
That story is the movement of African Americans in the early 1900s from the racially oppressive south to a less restrictive life in northern states.
