Started as an underground dance movment by African-American teenagers in the 1980s, hip-hop has grown into an international music, fashion, film and dance phenomenon. Since 1991, Evans has appeared in such major performances as the <em>Q102 Monster Concert<\/em> with recording artist TL; <em>John Coltrane Project<\/em>, commissioned by the Annenberg Center in Philadelphia; and <em>Dance Africa America<\/em> in Chicago, Los Angeles and New York.<\/p>\n<p>Captivating audiences as a member of Rennie Harris&#8217; dance company, Evans has performed and taught at major venues throughout the world. He co-developed and co-starred in the role of Mercutio in <em>Rome and Jules<\/em>, Harris&#8217; dazzling spin-off of <em>Romeo and Juliet<\/em>. He has also appeared in feature films and dance videos. Evans has &#8220;something important to say,&#8221; said the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Kimberly Roberts of The Philadelphia Tribune called him &#8220;exciting . . . with cat-like quickness and the stupefying hang time of Allen Iverson.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Evans&#8217; Bates appearance is sponsored by Bates College Modern Dance, Office of the Dean of Students, Amandla! and L\/A Arts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Acclaimed dancer and choreographer Clyde Evans Jr. will discuss and demonstrate the art of hip-hop in a Bates College performance Monday, Nov. 12, in the Olin Arts Center, 75 Russell Street.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":148,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_hide_ai_chatbot":false,"_ai_chatbot_style":"","associated_faculty":[],"_Page_Specific_Css":"","_bates_restrict_mod":false,"_table_of_contents_display":false,"_table_of_contents_location":"","_table_of_contents_disableSticky":false,"_is_featured":false,"footnotes":"","_bates_seo_meta_description":"","_bates_seo_block_robots":false,"_bates_seo_sharing_image_id":0,"_bates_seo_sharing_image_twitter_id":0,"_bates_seo_share_title":"","_bates_seo_canonical_overwrite":"","_bates_seo_twitter_template":""},"categories":[11010,39],"tags":[803,4186,5104,6135,6889,9079,9087],"class_list":["post-23288","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-arts","category-event-highlights","tag-amandla","tag-hip-hop","tag-la-arts","tag-music-tag","tag-performing-and-visual-arts","tag-visiting-artist","tag-visual-arts"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23288","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/148"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23288"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23288\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":91153,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23288\/revisions\/91153"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23288"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23288"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23288"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
