Dancer, artist, and choreographer Shamel Pitts creates provocative dance works that “push against the
boundaries of identity” (Dance Magazine). His company TRIBE will perform Touch of RED, inspired by
the rapid-fire footwork of boxing, the African American jazz dance style Lindy Hop, Gaga movement
language, and nightlife culture. Set in a stylized ring, this dance duet examines the way Black men are
perceived and perceive themselves in contemporary society.
