Dance with a purpose

Leah Glenn Dance Theatre (LGDT) presents a tribute to Nikki Giovanni with a powerful evening of dance, poetry and imagery. This vibrant concert weaves contemporary dance with evocative poetry of Giovanni’s and other members of the Wintergreen Women Writers Collective, accompanied by the bold visual art of Steve Prince and an original score by Grammy-nominated composer Hannibal Lokumbe. The result is a moving, multidisciplinary exploration of identity, heritage and community.

Under the direction of founder Leah Glenn Prince, LGDT is committed to deepening our understanding of the world through thought-provoking, artistically rich performances that entertain, inspire and challenge. Rooted in a spirit of inclusivity, LGDT’s work seeks to expand cultural awareness and enrich the perspectives of all who experience it. At the heart of every production lies the profound joy that Glenn discovers in using dance as both a catalyst for community-building and a powerful vehicle for storytelling —illuminating narratives of our past, present, and future through movement.

“LGDT cultivates a greater understanding of the world in which we live.”
