DIGITAL PROGRAM
Following the format of Xclaim's popular and inspirational 2017 Program, SPIRITUALS II is a soulful narrative about overcoming a history of turmoil and injustice while ushering in new hope. Movement inspired by the African Diaspora and beyond. Original choreography set to eclectic music selections by Director Mariah Layne French and Company Dancers, J.Shannon Filmore, Corinne Wood & Megan Blum. The program is woven together with live song by vocalist and story-teller Diane Ransom. Featuring special collaborations with Tru Kingdom Mega Crew and friends from Praise Chapel International dance group. 
*Spirituals II is brought to you in part by a Neighborhood Arts grant award from The Ohio Alliance for Arts Education
