Overview

Rennie Harris is a Philadelphia hip-hop legend, recently bringing his acclaimed new work “Lazarus” to the Kimmel Center Cultural Campus with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Company. In his new work Funkedified, Harris’ Puremovement company pushes the boundaries of street dance to create a multi-media performance set to the soundtrack of 1970s funk music and more. Through live musicians and the creation of an eclectic soundscape, audiences are drawn into Harris’ personal journey, from the culture of funk music to the evolution of hip-hop.

Puremovement dancers will be accompanied by The Hood Lockers and the New York funk band Invincible.
