“If Rennie Harris Puremovement were any hotter,
it would incinerate before your eyes.”
—Philadelphia City Paper
A pioneer in hip-hop choreography, Rennie Harris and his high-impact dance company translate the energy and spirit of the street into an electrifying form of body language. With its ever-evolving interpretations of dance, the company seeks to encompass rich African and African-American traditions while simultaneously expanding the boundaries of concert dance. This is arresting dance theater in the true spirit of hip-hop. Special guest Bill Shannon, dubbed “CrutchMaster” for his breakdance prowess, fuses disability-based crutch technique with rhythmic lyricism. Stay after the performance for a Meet-the-Artists discussion.
