Reggie Wilson/Fist & Heel Performance Group makes brilliant new performances from the spiritual traditions of the African Diaspora. Wilson draws on the movement idioms of blues, slave and worship cultures to create what he calls "Post-African Neo Hoodoo Modern dance." Accompanied by their own driving rhythms—body percussion, aspirated breath, singing and shouts—Fist & Heel blends deep ritual into potent, beautiful and energizing contemporary dance.

Their new full-length work is titled "The Tale: Npinpee Nckutchie and the Tail of the Golden Dek." "The Tale" is a new dance/music work for nine male and female performers that applies ritual and music from African traditions to contemporary urban social dance forms.

"Infectiously joyous…The sacred and the secular inform each other, and dance and music become a single art based on pulse and breath." Tobi Tobias, Village Voice

"Highly sophisticated…What you come away with is the sense of the African base as an endless font of inspiration." Sarah Kaufman, Washington Post

"Technically stunning and emotionally raw." A.O. Scott, New York Times Magazine
