  Shattered Lives (2021) by Ranardo-Domeico Grays  Mahalia Brookes, Dancer   Andrew Williams, Photographer

 


VISIONS Contemporary Ballet presents Redemption, a concert featuring the premiere of Tainted Bla’k, with two other inspirational works choreographed by Founder/Artistic Director Ranardo-Domeico Grays. Tainted Bla’k, a celebration of the beauty of being Black, is set to music that is inspirational, positive and has powerful messages of Blackness composed by artists of the African Diaspora. Shattered Lives, about vulnerability, devastation, and lack of control while fighting unfortunate events and negative situations, was commissioned by the Jamaica Center for Arts & Learning for Grays to choreograph for the Making Moves Dance Festival 2021. Roots, rooted in prayer, about self-growth, is a signature work that is spiritually uplifting and an audience favorite.



VISIONS Contemporary Ballet is an ethnically diverse company committed to presenting artistically excellent contemporary ballets in concert dance performances, rooted in African American heritage to a wide range of communities. It seeks to uplift, celebrate diversity, promote healing, provoke thought, and educate by creating and performing inspirational works which explore the human experience.
