    Exodus (World Premiere – 2015) Choreography by Rennie Harris Assistant Choreographer/Rehearsal Director: Nina Flagg Music by Various Artists Costumes by Jon Taylor Lighting by James Clotfelter Choreographer's Assistant: Millie Heckler The world premiere of Exodus is made possible with leadership support from Melinda & Paul Pressler. Acclaimed hip-hop choreographer Rennie (Lorenzo) Harris creates a highly-anticipated world premiere that explores the idea of “exodus” – from one’s ignorance and conformity – as a necessary step toward enlightenment. Set to gospel and house music along with spoken word, the work underscores the crucial role of action and movement in effecting change. Exemplifying his view of hip hop as a “celebration of life,” Exodus marks Harris’ latest invitation to return to spiritual basics and affirm who we are. His previous contributions to the Ailey repertory include Home (2011) and Love Stories (2004), an acclaimed collaboration with Judith Jamison and Robert Battle. “Harris has become the Basquiat of the US contemporary Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in Rennie Harris’ Exodus. dance scene.” Photo by Paul Kolnik The Sunday Times, London "...the virtuosic footwork, the marvelous undulations of the hips and, above all, the intricate patterns of Mr. Harris's choreographic formations. He knows how to move bodies in space, how to layer his phrases and, above all, how to make dancers look good." The New York Times “Hip-hop is about the celebration of life.” — Rennie Harris Rennie Harris Rennie (Lorenzo) Harris has been known to mix Shakespeare with hip hop, poetry, rap music and movement. He is a pioneer in performing, choreographing, teaching and introducing this African- American dance form hip hop to a worldwide audience and revolutionizing contemporary concert dance.

  • Lorenzo Rennie Harris P.H.D
    LORENZO RENNIE HARRIS P.H.D. Rennie Harris Puremovement 1500 Market Street 12th Floor East Tower Philadelphia, PA 19102 Creative Philosophy It's Paris. It's 1913. It's Stravinsky's music to Nijinsky's groundbreaking new choreography. It's too much for the audience, and a riot breaks out. It's Philadelphia. It's 2011. It's Stravinsky's music mixed with Arvo Part's and funneled through the millenial mentality of Darrin Ross and, to top it off, the always new choreographic genius of our own Nijinsky, Rennie Harris. Audiences have seen so much since 1913 that nothing starts a physical riot. Nevertheless, Harris's genius sets off a riot in our minds and souls. As the choreographer continues to redefine hiphop with new movement invention and conceptual ideas, he also redefines what we call concert dance. We are invited into a world of myth where the tables are turned and the young virgin to be sacrificed is a beautiful b-boy. The power and agency of women doing this movement vocabulary opens up another level of truth and beauty and turns us around. We must see with the eyes at the back of our head. –Brenda Dixon Gottschild-2011 Born and raised in North Philadelphia, I am a dancer, choreographer and director of dance. I've danced, taught, lectured and performed professionally since the age of 14. At an early age I worked for the Smithsonian Institution teaching and lecturing about street dance i.e. Hip-Hop. Through the Smithsonian Institution and the Ronald Reagan administration I toured as part of the American Embassy good will tour.

Blige. In relation to both Beyoncé’s and Blige’s work, I examine the politics of black women’s pop music culture in relation to the Gulf Coast catastrophe and the extreme marginalization of black women in American sociopolitical culture. I suggest that we look closely at the musical performances of Beyoncé as well as Blige, as each artist’s work creates a particular kind of black feminist surrogation, that is, an embodied performance that recycles palpable forms of black female sociopolitical grief and loss as well as spirited dissent and dissonance. Their combined efforts mark a new era of protest singing that sonically resists, revises, and reinvents the politics of black female hypervisibility in the American cultural imaginary. It has been more than a decade since black feminist cultural critic Hazel Carby explored the early-twentieth-century phenomenon of “policing the black woman’s body in an urban context.” In her groundbreaking essay, Carby illuminates the myriad ways in which postbellum and Gilded Age black female migrants wrestled with sexually and morally pathologizing labels imposed on them by social and political institutions.
