The Reintroduction is a hip-hop theater performance created and performed by the Destiny Arts Youth Performance Company and collaborators.

I think it’s safe to say that you are different.

Different from 3 years ago, 2 years ago, a year.

How are you different?

What is different in the world around you?

What is the same that should be different?

How are you showing up in this time of a new normal?

 

The Reintroduction is a hip hop dance and theater performance that invites the audience to explore who we are, what has changed us, what has or hasn’t changed around us and how are we reemerging into this world as we work to be our true authentic selves.

 

Under the artistic direction of Rashidi Omari and Paula Dewart, The Reintroduction is created and performed by the Destiny Arts Youth Performance Company, Destiny Junior Company, The Elders Project and BANDALOOP.

 

Tickets start at $10.
