"The Migration" Comes to Arena Stage
Inspired by the iconic 60-panel painting series, Step Afrika!’s "The Migration: Reflections on Jacob Lawrence" tells the story of one of the largest movements of people in United States history—when millions of African American migrants moved from the rural South to the industrial North in the early 1900s to escape racial oppression.
The award-winning company’s signature work combines its hallmark style of percussive dance-theater with the paintings’ images, colors, and motifs to bring history to life through pulsating rhythms and stunning movement!
