Dianne McIntyre has been a passionate ambassador of dance in America for over half a century! Along each step of the journey, Ms. McIntyre has used her artistic voice and influence to illuminate the beauty, resilience, and the truth of Black people and their history. She is connected to a rich legacy of African American pioneers and trailblazers in the arts (across disciplines; from dance to music, poetry, and theater). Ms. McIntyre is a national treasure, and the creation of this new production is a landmark moment in the artistic field for it coincides with the 50th anniversary of the founding of Dianne McIntyre's revolutionary company, Sounds In Motion. Duke University is proud to support the development of SPEAKING IN THE SAME KEY and delighted to have Ms. McIntyre and her artists on campus to engage with our community. Her upcoming residency will be one of the very first engagements opportunities the dance community has with this exciting new work! The presentation and tour of SPEAKING IN THE SAME KEY is projected for the 2022-2023 season and hopes to be a resounding and celebratory moment for the arts in America. We are delighted to engage with this piece, and collaborate in the conversation of her indelible impact through community, educational, and the arts.
