On this episode of The Rock Newman Show 2.0, we celebrate 30 years of “Step Afrika!”—the world’s leading authority on the art form of stepping. Joining us are Step Afrika’s visionary and executive producer C. Brian Williams, Artistic Director Mfoniso Akpan, and director of “The Migration,” Jakari Sherman.
Step Afrika! seamlessly blends percussive dance styles from historically African American fraternities and sororities, traditional African dances, and an array of contemporary dance and art forms into a compelling artistic experience. Their signature work, “The Migration: Reflections on Jacob Lawrence,” draws inspiration from Lawrence’s iconic painting series, charting the story of African-American migrants moving from the South to the North in the early 1900s.
