DARFUR DANCE PREMIERE – APRIL 23-24

The Darfur Alert Coalition is assisting the Rebecca Davis Dance Company of Philadelphia in its world-premiere production of the contemporary ballet “Darfur” at the Arden Theatre. The work is described as an original ballet “set o alternative rock music and inspired by the journey of former US Marine Brian Steidle,” whose famous photos raised awareness of the atrocities in Darfur. The production is a benefit for Global Grassroots, Steidle’s program to assist victims in Chad. Darfur Alert will have a presence as well, with an informational table about our work and a display of our Darfuri children’s art in the Arden lobby.

Performances are Wednesday, April 23, 8 p.m., and Thursday, April 24, 8 p.m. The Arden Theatre is at 40 N. Second St. in Old City Philadelphia. To purchase tickets, go to: www.ardentheatre.org or 215-922-1122.
