Stardust takes Bowie’s 40-year career catalog and provides a visual that only choreographer and Complexions Artistic Director Dwight Rhoden could create and master. Rhoden isn’t new to the concept of paying tribute to artists, having given tribute to the musical group U2 with “RISE,” set to a score by ’80s rock band, when they performed at the John Anson Ford Theatre back in 2013, along with local Black dance company Lula Washington Dance Theatre. According to his bio, Rhoden has lectured and held positions as “Artist in Residence” at universities around the U.S and has directed and choreographed for film, theater, and live performances including E! Entertainment’s Tribute to Style and Cirque Du Soleil and for artists including Prince, Lenny Kravitz, and Kelly Clarkson. Rhoden worked on the film One Last Dance, starring Patrick Swayze. Rhoden is a 1998 New York Foundation for the Arts Award Recipient and the 2001 Rhoden Choo San Goh Award recipient for Choreography.
