SUMMARY:Performance:UMS presents Shamel Pitts | TRIBE
DESCRIPTION:After the jaw-dropping 2025 presentation of BLACK HOLE\, Shamel Pitts | TRIBE returns with its newest multidisciplinary dance work\, Marks of RED.\n\nA work of magical realism narrated by and featuring the viewpoints of six women\, Marks of RED is an Afrofuturistic meditation that explores the effect that memory has on our experiences\, senses\, bodies\, reality\, and imaginative possibilities.\n\nAnchored in the distinctive Gaga movement style in which Pitts was trained (he danced with Batsheva Dance Company for seven years)\, the work draws inspiration from sumo wrestling\, butoh dance\, and techno music\, molding ritual\, movement\, and sound into a rumination on Black embodiment. The multidisciplinary piece explores the deep complexity of self-expression and is the fourth installment of Shamel Pitts’ RED Series.\n\n“I know I’ve just witnessed a beautiful work when I leave the theater full of questions\; but more so when I leave the theater with answers and clarity.” (Dance Currents)
