ZACCHO DANCE THEATRE

*Zaccho Dance Theatre* Dying While Black & Brown Tour March, 2015 Presented by Harvard Law School's Charles Hamilton Houston Institute  for Race & Justice and University of Massachusetts, Amherst   Photo by Kegan Marling   Dying While Black & Brown focuses on capital punishment and the disproportionate numbers of incarcerated people of color. The piece was created by Zaccho's Artistic Director, Joanna Haigood, in collaboration with renowned jazz composer, Marcus Shelby. It was created in response to the Equal Justice Society's campaign to restore 14th Amendment protections for victims of discrimination including those on death row. The Charles Hamilton Houston Institute for Race and Justice at Harvard Law School (CHHIRJ) serves as a critical bridge between scholarship, law, policy and practice and is well-positioned to bring together critical players from many spheres to devise and implement research-based solutions and remedies. *Zaccho's 2015 Residency Program Announcement* Open for Applications Submission Deadline: March 1, 2015 Residency Period: April to July, 2015   Photo by Kimara Dixon Zaccho Studio's Resident Program extends support to local emerging and established artists and companies.
