ABOUT STEAL AWAY
STEAL AWAY with Inversion Vocal Ensemble, Diaspora Orchestra, and shackled feet DANCE! Music Composition by Dave Ragland and Choreography by Shabaz Ujima.

It's "Greek tragedy meets Alvin Ailey's Revelations"! STEAL AWAY pushes the boundaries of conventional opera narratives. Emmy-nominee Dave Ragland and Inversion Vocal Ensemble reimagine traditional African- American spirituals to explore universal themes of hardship, hope, and renewal. Shining a spotlight on the power of community, choreographer Shabaz Ujima leads his multi-generational company of diverse dancers - shackled feet DANCE! With musical support from members of Diaspora Orchestra.

"So as the art unravels into something profound and thought-provoking, the audience is exposed to the creative child that the two artists have concocted. And my, is it something to experience." -Nathan Stone, Music City Review
