Written
and directed by COCA alumnus Christopher Page, Continuing the Legacy uses dance as a vehicle to take audience
members through black history – from slavery to the jazz era, through the civil
rights movement, to modern times. Large photographs are projected behind the
dancers, creating a vivid accompaniment to the modern dance choreography and
helping audience members see, hear and feel the journey of African Americans in
America. Performers include members of COCAdance. Continuing the Legacy includes imagery that may be disturbing to
young children. Recommended for students in grades 4 and up. Performances are Friday,
February 28, at 7:00pm, and Saturday, March 1, at 5:00pm at COCA, 524 Trinity Avenue, St.
Louis, MO. Tickets are $6-10. Call 314.725.6555 or visit www.cocastl.org for more information.
