Ogemdi Ude at Lincoln Center
Part of the Pasculano Collaborative for Contemporary Dance
Brooklyn-based dance, theater, and interdisciplinary artist Ogemdi Ude updates her celebrated work MAJOR for an outdoor space. The work explores the physicality and history of majorette dance—a fundamental relic of Black girlhood. Six Black femmes engage in majorette dance to embark on a journey of self-discovery. Experiments in improvised and verbatim language intertwine with a music score integrating Southern rap, horns, drumlines, and melodic R&B and soul by Lambkin.
