Donald McKayle: Born to Dance, Create & Teach


Me and Donnie

Dance Visions 2009: A Tribute to Donald McKayle was a awesome event from start to finish. It began with film images of Mckayle's enduring choreography throughout his career and the many dancers who gave meaning his words. Like two bookends McKayle's Games opened the UCI dance concert, and his new work Noir, was the finale. Like a fine collection of books from start to finish, each piece spoke proudly of what dance was and can be. Most striking was the the energy and artistry put forth by every young dancer who graced the stage, which is the gift to the audience and ultimate compliment to the choreographers.
