C. Brian Williams
C. Brian Williams is founder and executive director of Step Afrika!, the world’s first professional company dedicated to the tradition of stepping, a polyrhythmic percussive dance form that uses the body as an instrument. He was interviewed in a dressing room at New York City’s The New Victory Theater by Soundboard producer/host Ben Finane, Editor in Chief at Steinway’s award-winning online music magazine listenmusicculture.com.
‘Percussive dance forms exist all over the world.... At the end of the day, it’s crazy how similar we are: so little divides us.’
