Performance synopsis
‘Wade in the Water’ is a collection of choreographies to Negro spiritual songs, developed in a form of modern-jazz stage dance. The creators want to show the expression of an Afro-American style of dance which combines within itself the spirit of Christianity, Western culture and African traditions of dancing and singing. Gospel music creates a community of artistic prayer, giving hope and relief. A choir, together with dancers and musicians, builds an atmosphere of sublime artistic experience.
