She was one of America’s first liberated women of color\, who fought against all odds for the sake of freedom and equality. This production brings light to the incredible accomplishments of Harriet Tubman\, the anti-slavery activist. \nDesert Dance Theatre’s artistic directors\, Marion Kirk Jones\, Renee Davis\, and Lisa R. Chow created Sister Moses\, along with music director\, John D. Anthony. The concept and much of the work was researched collaboratively with the help of Susan Smith\, director of String Sounds (quartet). The script is embellished with traditional spirituals\, slave songs and other music of that time around the Civil War Era. \nSince the production’s premiere at the Herberger Theater Center in January of 1993\, Sister Moses has been performed in various sold out venues throughout the Phoenix area including: Chandler Center for the Arts\, Gammage Auditorium\, Paradise Valley Community College\, Scottsdale Center for the Arts\, South Mountain Community College; and at several high schools. The company’s out of state performances include venues in Las Vegas\, Nevada and Austin\, Texas. Over 100\,000 audience members of all ages have enjoyed the experience of Sister Moses. \nThis powerful dance drama features Desert Dance Theatre with Renee Davis as Harriet Tubman\, dramatic narration by Renee Morgan Brooks\, African drumming and music direction by Step Raptis\, accompaniment by String Sounds and traditional spirituals sung by a choral ensemble featuring baritone soloist\, Greg Dansby. The unique blend of this 45-minute multidisciplinary presentation highlights the most important episodes of Harriet Tubman’s life. \nSister Moses is a valuable educational tool in bringing this period of American History alive. It shares the knowledge and experience of the struggles and accomplishments of Harriet Tubman that will bring a source of inspiration to students and adults alike. The program follows Tubman’s life as a young slave on a Southern Plantation\, her attempts to escape slavery\, her work on the Underground Railroad\, and her contributions to the Abolitionist movement. Slave songs from that period are featured for their significance as a means of passing information among the slaves. Hidden in the lyrics were vital escape details. \nFor more information\, contact Desert Dance Theatre at 480-962-4584 or gro.ertaehTecnaDtreseDnull@ofni or visit our website: www.DesertDanceTheatre.org. \n____________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY:'No Frills' - A Dance Happenin' Tucson
DESCRIPTION:ZUZI! Dance presents the fall edition of its biannual No Frills Dance Happenin’. A variety of choreographers throughout Tucson and Southern Arizona come to share fresh and innovative works from various stages of the creative process. The works range from serious to silly and some are presented here for the first time. \n“The ‘No Frills’ concert has come to serve two important purposes\,” says ZUZI!’s Director\, Nanette Robinson. “It has become a popular venue for showcasing youth performers\, schools\, and youth choreography and it continues to be venue for local choreographers to take creative risks with new work.” The show has been described as an open mic for dance and is a unique opportunity to perform in a relaxed setting. As the name suggests\, there are no frills—no fancy lights\, no fancy sets—just dancers\, choreographers\, and experimentation. \nNo Frills Dance Happenin’ will highlight youth choreographers Friday night\, November 3rd\, at 7:30 PM\, and adult choreographers showcase Saturday\, November 4\, at 7:30 PM in the newly renovated Scoundrel & Scamp Theater at the Historic Y at 738 N. 5th Avenue in Tucson.
