More @ David Dorfman Dance delivers a blast from the past as one of the Bay Area's favorite funk bands comes alive again on stage at YBCA with their newest work, Prophets of Funk, an electrifying performance that celebrates the band's groundbreaking and original sound and salutes the struggles and achievements of everyday people. Choreographer David Dorfman Dance creates dance that generates dialogue, debate and change through innovative, inclusive performances that are radically humanistic. Similarly, Sly & the Family Stone, one of the first racially and gender-integrated bands in American music history, created music that spoke to divisive issues facing American society and appealed for solidarity amongst the diverse audiences who connected them and their message of social justice. Together, these artists have merged over their common belief in the prophetic possibilities of music and dance and invite everyday people to find ardor in the muck and mess — the funk — of life.
Prophets of Funk lifts up the spirit of Sly & the Family Stone, insisting that in the face of this funk, there are still hopes and aspirations that reside in all of us. Audiences are also encouraged to sing — and dance — along with their favorite oldies, including Stand, Let Me Take You Higher, Dance to the Music and (of course) Everyday People.
