The French Company will grace the stage alongside the time treasured National Dance Theatre Company of Jamaica led by Principal Dancers Marlon Simms and Kerry-Ann Henry under the artistic direction of Barry Moncrieffe. The Company will share select offerings from the just ended and much acclaimed 48th Season of Dance.
Special guests for this evening include the French Ambassador, Marc-Oliver Gendry. Since 1997, Artistic Expression has to its credit the much loved poetry and music series at the former Crown Plaza Hotel and later at the Hilton Hotel. Since then the company has staged many productions including presenting and hosting Nobel Laureate Derek Walcott.
