Founded in 1989, Reggie Wilson/Fist and Heel Performance Group is a Brooklyn-based dance company that investigates the intersections of cultural anthropology and movement practices. Wilson draws from the cultures of Africans in the Americas and combines them with post-modern elements and his own personal movement style to create what he calls “post-African/Neo-HooDoo Modern dances.” The company made its Pillow debut in 1996 and has returned in several seasons since, including a presentation of Moses(es) in 2014.
