Grace and Mercy

Commission and residency for Ronald K. Brown / EVIDENCE and Meshell Ndegeocello for world premiere dance with all live music

Grace and Mercy is a two-part evening-length production by Ronald K. Brown / EVIDENCE dance company. The first part is Mercy, a new work with original music composed and performed live by Meshell Ndegeocello. The second part is Grace [live], a 20^th anniversary restaging of Ronald K. Brown’s Grace, performed with all live music for the first time.

Mercy is the first collaboration between choreographer Ronald K. Brown and singer-songwriter/bassist Meshell Ndegeocello. These artists are leaders in their fields, celebrated for breaking down social barriers with their iconoclastic and sublime approach to music and dance making.
