STEP AFRIKA!’s signature work THE MIGRATION: REFLECTIONS ON JACOB LAWRENCE charts the story of African Americans moving from the rural South to the industrial North to escape Jim Crow, racial oppression, and lynchings in the early 1900s. Inspired by Jacob Lawrence’s iconic 60-panel “The Migration Series” (1940-41), this signature work from the award-winning dance company uses the images, color palette and motifs in the painting series to tell this astonishing story through pulsating rhythms and visually stunning movement.
