The unconventional choreographer Rennie Harris says his new dance called “Facing Mekka” has been in the works for nearly three years. It’s now on a U.S. tour, and it continues to evolve. It is one more step for Rennie Harris in taking his own roots in hip-hop dance into new associations with world music, and with traditional African dance, and further along on what he sees as his own spiritual journey.
See Rennie Harris’ “Facing Mekka” tonight Friday 10/17 at 7 PM, Saturday 10/18 at 8 PM, and Sunday 10/19 at 2PM. The performance is at the Cutler Majestic Theatre, Emerson College, 219 Tremont St. , Boston MA.
