Free Diamonds is a new series of choreographic vignettes by Artistic Director Donna Crump that examines the achievements of many unsung black heroes throughout history. Inspired by Garrett Bradley’s America (2019), the work explores what it means to be fully immersed in all things creative and free, while also engaging notions of restraint. Free Diamonds will be performed by Donna Crump and the pre-professional division dance students of the Coomer Ballet Conservatory.
