REGGIE WILSON / FIST AND HEEL PERFORMANCE GROUP

CITIZEN - KRAVIS CENTER

Choreographer Reggie Wilson’s compelling new work, Citizen, investigates what it means to belong and not belong, probing the nuanced layers that lie beneath public versus private. His Brooklyn-based performance group boldly blends contemporary dance and African traditions, drawing from the movements of blues, slave and gospel cultures to create provocative works that both honor the past and break new ground.

CITIZEN Performance- Tigertail (Miami, FL)

Noted NYC-based choreographer Reggie Wilson brings his dance company, Fist and Heel Performance Group, to Miami-Dade County Auditorium On.Stage Black Box to perform CITIZEN. In this work, Wilson asks, "What does it mean to belong?" and "What does it mean to NOT want to belong?", core questions of Reggie's investigations for this new evening-length dance work. In CITIZEN, Wilson drills down into the human desire to belong with exponentially expanding questions: "Do the injustices in today's America engender a feeling of belonging? What supports belonging? Is belonging solely something internal, inside the individual? Is a sense of belonging or not belonging, a private or a public matter?" CITIZEN promises to engage and compel while igniting perspectives on our compassion and humanity.
