Amistad We Stand

Amistad We Stand
New Dance Theatre, Dance Building

The UGA Department of Dance presents Amistad We Stand celebrating Black History through Performance. The concert will be held on Friday, February 17 at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, February 18 at 2:30 p.m. in the New Dance Theatre at the Dance Building, off Sanford Drive between Green and Soule streets. Admission is $5 for all and seating is general admission.

Amistad We Stand, directed by Jason Aryeh, is a performance concert celebrating Black History through the heroic souls that fought before us from the transatlantic slave trade to the plantation fields, through to lynching, into segregation, unto the fights for identity and equal rights. The performance also remembers how far Africans, and African American history have come, journeying into a hopeful future as we hold on to the power of ONE from that which is invincible.

The show will include performances by the UGA Dance Company students and guest performances by Brenau University Dance Company, East Athens Educational Dance Center, and Pamoja Dance Company. Tickets are on sale now at the Performing Arts Center and Tate Center box offices, by phone at 706-542-4400 and online below. A live stream will also be available on the UGA Dance Livestream page at showtime Friday evening.
