Join FirstWorks for this special virtual artist talk with legendary choreographer, Rennie Harris, as he talks about the restaging of his classic work, "Rome & Jewels," with his company Rennie Harris Puremovement American Dance Theater (RHPM). Critically acclaimed as an Elizabethan masterpiece, "Rome & Jewels" is a retelling of Shakespeare’s "Romeo and Juliet" set in the streets of Philadelphia. The production broke ground nationally and internationally, winning three Bessie awards, a Shakespeare Theater Award, and a nomination for the United Kingdom’s Lawrence Olivier award. Rennie Harris Puremovement is the longest-running street dance theater company in American history and is “the” preeminent ambassador and elder of hip-hop and street dance culture.
In conversation with Rennie is Providence-based dancer, educator and choreographer, Jessica T. Pearson, Associate Professor of Dance at Rhode Island College.
