Description

Presented by the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts

      The Hobby Center for the Performing Arts is proud to present Urban Souls Dance Company in Souls of Black Houston, a dance concert dedicated to honoring Black History Month. This particular performance marks the company's 20th anniversary season and pays tribute to two decades of sharing the powerful stories of the African-American experience. 

     The show's highlight is the incredible production, Colored Carnegie, created and directed by Urban Souls Founder and Artistic Director Harrison Guy, featuring an original score by Dr. John Cornelius and a stunning set design by Edgar Guajardo. Inspired by the history of the segregated Houston Colored Carnegie Library, this piece is a poignant reminder of the resilience and strength of the Black community. In addition to Colored Carnegie, the program includes two other captivating works. Sugar Shack, choreographed by Walter J. Hull, II, draws inspiration from the evocative paintings of Ernie Barnes, while Harrison Guy's Black Bodies in White Spaces explores the complexities and beauty of self-acceptance and self-love. 

Souls of Black Houston promises to be a thought-provoking and inspiring celebration of Black artistry and history.
