Board of Education&nbsp;case, which barred racial segregation in American public schools,</b> wasn’t the only path for Black parents, teachers, and activists who sought equality of educational opportunity. Some believed that the solution to inequality lay in pressing the federal government to live up to the Jim Crow doctrine of “separate but equal” by providing more resources to Black schools. And for a time, this seemed true in Washington, DC, where Black activists leveraged their status as residents of the nation’s capital to advocate on behalf of Black education. However, disappointments with the “separate but equal” strategy and a sea change in activism led to an embrace of integration.</p><p> </p><p>In&nbsp;<b><i>Nothing Less Than Equality</i></b>, Professor&nbsp;<b>Tikia K.

Hamilton thoroughly examines the multipronged strategies employed by parents, teachers, attorneys, and activists to democratize education.

<p>Featuring performances by dancers from Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, Gauthier Dance//Dance Company Theaterhaus Stuttgart among them Andrew Cummings, and others.</p>
<p><em>“Choreographer Aszure Barton speaks a language of raw emotion: a punch to the gut, a tightening heart. Her works tell the never-ending story of what it means to be human.”</em> — Carmen Kovacs, dramaturg</p>
<p>Aszure Barton is among the most original and sought-after choreographers of her generation — a singular voice whose work has moved audiences around the world, from Nederlands Dans Theater to Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. We are honored to close our <em>Women Move the World</em> 2025/26 Harkness Mainstage Series with a landmark event that celebrates her holistic vision.</p>
<p>As director of Aszure Barton &amp; Artists | AB&amp;A — a multidisciplinary dance hub founded in New York in the early 2000s — Aszure has expanded beyond the conventional choreographer-company structure by reshaping what it means to build a body of work, “a mobile home for trusted humans,” as she says. Since its inception, she’s been generating dance language with her most-trusted AB&amp;A crew while simultaneously creating commissions worldwide — all through a rigorous, collaborative process that simultaneously respects and dismantles classical and contemporary forms. AB&amp;A serves as both a watering hole and connecting thread for this choreographer and her collaborators.</p>
<p>This 92NY celebration shares her interconnected web of community with ours by bringing together AB&amp;A artists from across the globe, including dancers from Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, Gauthier Dance//Dance Company Theaterhaus Stuttgart among them Andrew Cummings, and others. In a single evening, audience members will witness a breadth of Aszure’s artistic voice through artists who have inspired her process over the years. This gathering highlights her path as a prolific choreographer, celebrating where the work has been and will go while uplifting her love of music and longtime collaborators — giving you a grasp of how she has and will continue to reshape the dance landscape internationally.</p>
