Aquilah Ohemeng is bringing her reimagining of a 64-year-old dance to the modern stage.
The graduate student in choreographic inquiry is imbuing modern artistic expression into one of the most influential pieces of choreographed dance – Alvin Ailey’s “Revelations.” Titled “PASS US NOT: Holy Ghosted,” Ohemeng’s piece builds on the trailblazing choreographer’s creation, which uses traditional African American spirituals, blues and work songs to tell a story of faith and perseverance as it relates to slavery and freedom.
