In The Look of Feeling Francesca Harper examines the life of her mother Denise Jefferson, who fearlessly directed The Alvin Ailey School for over 25 years. Jefferson nurtured the institution, and its artists onto international acclaim. From Monticello to Manhattan, Harper recreates her mother's miraculous journey through choreography, song, and visual projection. The Look of Feeling celebrates Jefferson, a pioneer of American dance who courageously fulfilled her dreams. The piece also illuminates Harper, a bold choreographer in discovery of her own legacy.
