We Move in Color (WMIC) is a Musical Revue that seeks to capture the African American narrative through music, poetry, dance, and immersive visual art. The revue engages audiences with exquisite images from renowned painter, Paul Goodnight, and the award-winning photography of Lou Jones. The revue's choreography is set to a backdrop of rhythmic African drums, hip-hop, jazz, gospel, and R&B music while bringing key milestones in American history to life. Choreographers include New York Times' critically acclaimed Sheryl Thomas, renowned tap dancer Maurice Chestnut, and Soul Steps trailblazer Maxine Lyle. The revue's Story Designer is Emmy award winner and Boston performing arts legend, Wyatt Jackson, who is also scheduled to perform in the revue. The musical soundtrack is produced by GRAMMY award winner, Gen Rubin. The show features dynamic recording artist Anita Faye, and the poetic voice of writer Robby Thomas, the show's executive producer.
The story begins in pre-colonial West Africa and moves through the middle-passage, antebellum South, Civil Rights movement, and modern America. It explores the evolving cultural landscape of twentieth century America, visiting the Harlem Renaissance and the iconic decades of the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s where the cadence of Hip-hop became mainstream.
While the revue channels the past, its essence centers around the strength and resilience of a people determined to move forward.
WMIC educates, challenges, and inspires. It offers moments of therapy, celebration, and optimism. The project launches in Boston in honor of the artistic contributions that Paul Goodnight, Lou Jones, and Wyatt Jackson have made to the arts community.
