After nearly a year of collaboration, PlayhouseSquare and Oberlin College are presenting the choreopoem premiere of why i had to dance. Written by Ntozake Shange, the work is put to dance by Dianne McIntyre. The choreopoem is described by Shange as “an a-historical version of her discovery of the different eras of black dance. why i had to dance explores the connectivity of black dance from generation to generation and from region to region.”
