  • Accounting for customs is a work-in-progress entitled, The Good Dance (Congo-Congo and his search for the Good Dance) which is the working title for a new work, currently being developed by choreographer, Reggie Wilson, which explores the influence of Central African culture on world performance forms and its metaphoric, historic, real world parallel with Mississippi Delta culture. His research on the secular and religious aspects of life in the African American communities of the Delta and the Central African countries of Cameroon, Gabon and Congo (Brazzaville) and a multi year exchange and collaboration between Reggie Wilson/Fist and Heel Performance Group and Congolese choreographer, Andréya Ouamba and his Company, 1er Temps based in Dakar, Senegal, will be contextualized into the performance work The Good Dance. -- text from Pentacle website.
