Thurs, Jan 29  The Gospel Of Movement & Style: The Black Church Roots of Alvin Ailey & Andre Leon Talley, SCADFASH, 1600 Peachtree St, Midtown Atlanta  6pm-7:45pm  $10  KNOW More: showclix.com/events/21639The Gospel of Style and Movement is a public dialogue and cultural exploration that connects the creative legacies of two visionary artists — Alvin Ailey, the legendary choreographer who redefined American dance, and André Leon Talley, the fashion icon who transformed global style. Though they worked in different mediums, both drew deeply from the same well — the Black church, the original stage and runway of Black expression. Through spirit, rhythm, and ritual, the church shaped their artistry, their sense of self, and their commitment to elevating the Black experience to the realm of the sacred. Their stories run parallel as artistic testaments to how faith, community, and music shaped Black identity and expression in America.
