The students of John Muir High School’s Mystics Dance Team and dance classes invite the community to experience a powerful, one-of-a-kind performance celebrating the legacy of renowned photographer and activist Kwame Brathwaite. This collaborative event, in partnership with the Lineage Dance Company and the Brathwaite Family, will honor Brathwaite’s groundbreaking contributions to art and activism while showcasing the creativity and talent of local dancers. Kwame Brathwaite, whose photographic work championed the “Black is Beautiful” movement, is celebrated for his legacy of empowering Black identity and culture. Through this dance performance, the John Muir High School dance students will embody Brathwaite’s vision of culture, identity, and resilience using movement to connect the past to the present. Special guest performances will come from dancers of the esteemed Lineage Dance Company, adding another layer of expertise to this collaboration. TICKETS: In response to the recent devastation caused by the Eaton Fires, the event is committed to making the show accessible to all members of the community. Tickets will be offered on a “pay what you can” basis, ensuring that those impacted by the fires can still participate in this cultural event. All donations will go directly to the John Muir Dance Program to ensure these talented young dancers can continue participating in affordable dance programs.
