Touch of RED's Invited Dress Rehearsal and a Conversation with artists on Wednesday November 2nd, 2022, at 6:30 pm at Miami Theater Center in Miami Shores.
The Brooklyn-based artists (Shamel Pitts and company members) would love to engage with the Miami LGBTQ youth community post-rehearsal and share their process of creating this piece.
To attend the invited dress rehearsal, students may RSVP here. NOTE that there is a password to RSVP on eventbrite, which is red.
Touch of RED's is a dance performance created by the Brooklyn-based arts collective TRIBE and led by artistic director and choreographer Shamel Pitts. The work consists of a duet for two men inside of a contemporary ring. It investigates how Black men can allow themselves to soften, even under extreme pressure and heat. The confined space references a futuristic and voyeuristic gladiator entertainment site in which a heat path between the two performers builds, not out of aggression or combat, but within an enhanced electrifying effeminacy that heals.
