Acclaimed composer-violinist Daniel Bernard Roumain (DBR) returns to BAM with an invigorating new production fueled by DBR’s inimitable mash-up of pop, hip-hop, and classical music. The third and final installment of a multi-year BAM commission that includes One Loss Plus (2007 Next Wave) and Darwin’s Meditation for The People of Lincoln (2008 Next Wave), Symphony for the Dance Floor features hip-hop artist Lord Jamar (founding member of Brand Nubian, HBO’s Oz), photography and video by Jonathan Mannion—best known for his striking portraits of Jay-Z, Lauryn Hill, and Eminem—and choreography by Millicent Johnnie (Urban Bush Women). DBR’s latest work radiates an infectious raw energy, transforming the stage of the Harvey Theater into an ecstatic dance party.
