A longtime festival favorite, Harris is a choreographer known for taking hip hop dance from inner-city streets to a mainstream audience -- transforming both art form and audience as he goes. Inspired by Oliver Twist but delving into the organic spiritual tapestry of house music and dance (often referred to as going to "church"), Lifted explores tensions between self-determination and family, religion and society. Jaamil Olawale Kosoko, an independent artist, curator and poet, offers a pre-performance talk at 7pm. Tickets and FMI batesdancefestival.org.
