What legacy will you leave behind? Darrell Grand Moultrie’s Road To One passionately embraces the journey we all take to find meaning in our lives and eventually pass it on to the next generation.

Inspired by a mentor who introduced him to the arts at a young age, Moultrie pays it forward with the Ailey II dancers, creating a high-energy ensemble work that uses elegant, modern movement with a contemporary edge.

The musical score features an eclectic range of artists, including Ezio Bosso, Kenji Bunch, Monica Ohuchi, Oliver Davis, and Spark. 

Three male dancers in motion, each wearing colorful shorts. They are in a staggered formation with bent arms and intense expressions, dancing against a dark background.

Three male dancers performing on stage. One in red shorts is in a plank position, another in blue shorts is balancing on one leg with arms outstretched, and the third in blue shorts is lying on the floor, looking up. The background is dark.
