About Ronald K. Brown/EVIDENCE, A Dance Company

Ronald K. Brown/EVIDENCE, A Dance Company seeks to promote understanding of the human condition through the dances and storytelling of the African Diaspora, and to provide sensory connections to history and tradition through music, movement and spoken word. Founded by Ronald K. Brown, EVIDENCE, a Dance Company is dedicated to connecting audiences to the rich history, traditions, and complex stories of African Americans and the African Diaspora. Brown gave his newly-formed company the name EVIDENCE because he wanted people—especially young people and people of color—to see a reflection, or evidence, of their families, their neighbors, their stories, and their circumstances, on stage. In the four decades since the company’s founding, Brown has created a rich and diverse body of work that is significant in its pioneering blend of classic and traditional forms grounded by compelling ancestral narratives. Additionally, Brown is one of the nation’s most celebrated choreographers. He has created over 30 works for EVIDENCE, and has garnered commissions from Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Jacob’s Pillow, The Kennedy Center, The Joyce Theater, Ballet Hispanico, Malpaso Dance Company, Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Ensemble, Dayton Contemporary Dance Company, Jennifer Muller/The Works, Jeune Ballet d’Afrique Noire, and Harlem Stage, to name a few.
