#sentimentsofsankofa / #standingontheshouldersofgiants Repost @scribesandvibes ・・・ We'd like to take a moment to pay homage to Fayard Nicholas and Harold Nicholas... The Nicholas Brothers! Enveloped in show business since birth, Fayard taught himself how to sing, act, and dance by watching his parents and the great black entertainers of the Harlem Renaissance. He then taught his sister and brother; Fayard, Dorothy, and Harold performed as The Nicholas Kids. After Dorothy opted out, The Nicholas Kids became known as The Nicholas Brothers. Fayard and Harold grew up in an era of Tap Dance Legends, however, they redefined Tap with their spectacular showmanship and signature choreography. The Nicholas Brothers were jazz in motion, they traded syncopated notes with Duke Ellington and Cab Callaway. They did the Lindy Hop with tap rhythms. They emulated Mr. Bojangles, Sandman, and the early tap legends with the grace of ballet. They would leapfrog down staircases and arise from splits without using their hands. The Nicholas Brothers redefined tap dancing with their fusion of acrobatics, tap, and ballet. However; we salute Fayard Nicholas and Harold Nicholas for exemplifying excellence throughout their careers. Fayard was 18 and Harold was 11 when they received their big break; yet, they broke beyond the stereotypes of the time by performing in ties and tails. The Nicholas Brothers were the epitome of "young, gifted, and black." Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly credit Fayard and Harold Nicholas as the best dancers they've ever seen. -#scribesandvibes • #therebirthofcool • #TheNicholasBrothers • #TapDance • #BlackHistoryMonth https://www.instagram.com/p/CpAdHTpAOMW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#sentimentsofsankofa / #standingontheshouldersofgiants Repost @scribesandvibes ・・・ The rebirth of #BlackTheatre commenced in May of 1921 when #ShuffleAlong opened the curtains at the #SixtyThirdStreetTheatre in New York City. Ironically, as #BlackWallStreet was set ablaze by angry white mobs in Tulsa, #BlackBroadway set #thetheatre world on fire - attracting unprecedented white audiences. Lauded for its unheralded introduction of #BlackLove, the Shuffle Along production pushed America forward, allowing two Black people to #fallinlove #onstage. Regarded as the epitome of the #HarlemRenaissance, the Shuffle Along #musical ran #onBroadway for a record setting 500-some-odd performances. Despite being critiqued by skeptics [for boldly daring to shine a light on #BLACKONBLACKLOVE during a time when Black Sexuality was considered dangerous and #AmericanTheatre was still in blackface], anomalous aesthetics such as "more than the usual number of comedians under cork in one show," vivacious dancers, and an all-black cast set the tone for the landmark #musicalcomedy to breakdown color barriers. We'd like to take a moment to pay #homage to #FlournoyMiller, #AubreyLyle, #EubieBlake, #NobleSissle, and the #HowardTheatre for removing the blackface and orchestrating the beauty of Black faces on stage. -Stevie #historyheritageandhumanities ・・・ #scribesandvibes • #therebirthofcool • #blacklovematters • #theatrevibes • #BlackHistoryMonth https://www.instagram.com/p/CoXYDBPAvck/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#sentimentsofsankofa / #standingontheshouldersofgiants Repost @scribesandvibes ・・・ We'd like to take a moment to pay homage to Noble Sissle & Eubie Blake... Noble Sissle and Eubie Blake broke racist traditions when they performed in tuxedos. Noble Sissle, a lyricist and vocalist, and Eubie Blake, a composer and pianist, were the first black performers in the U.S. that refused to perform in blackface. The Noble Sissle and Eubie Blake piano-vocal duo's commitment to present authentic black artistry went far beyond music. The musical duo appeared as a vaudeville act and were featured in pioneering sound films. The prominent pair revolutionized the American stage with #ShuffleAlong. Shuffle Along; a musical, co-written with Flournoy Miller and Aubrey Lyles; gave birth to #blacktheatre. Noble Sissle and Eubie Blake broke color barriers when Shuffle Along became the first black musical to appear #onBroadway. Shuffle Along ran a recorded setting 500 performances on #Broadway, launching the careers of the most sought after #blackentertainers; including, Florence Mills, Josephine Baker, and Paul Robenson. Nobble Sissle and Eubie Blake may be best known for their musical talents; which introduced #Jazz to the Silver Screen. However; we salute their #audicity and #selfrespect. Their courage to present themselves as #respectableblackmen during performances and their dedication to provide a platform that portrayed blacks beyond racial stereotypes inspired a movement. Albeit #thearts, education, or culture; Noble Sissle and Eubie Blake paved the way for the authentic #blackvoice. They stimulated a movement of #blackexpression and #blackpride, which grew to become known as The #HarlemRenaissance. -Stevie #historyheritageandhumanities ・・・ #scribesandvibes • #therebirthofcool • #NobleSissle • #EubieBlake • #BlackHistoryMonth https://www.instagram.com/p/CoWUgCrghjH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
