S. Epatha Merkerson (Law & Order) is performing in the Complexions Contemporary Ballet at the Joyce Theatre in New York City, but she’s not dancing. Epatha is showing off her voice, by speaking and singing gospel spirituals, her performance accompanied with dance by Desmond Richardson.

More information about this performance, which runs until November 30, can be found on the New York Times web site and at Bloomberg.com

PS:
Here’s Epatha on The Today Show on November 24, 2008, discussing the show and her performance in the ballet. It’s from hulu.com, which doesn’t always keep videos up too long, so catch it while you can.
