[@eselynjoynembhard]

Did anyone take over this dance theatre company after Rex died

[@ndtcjamaica]

The Company has had two artistic directors since Prof. Nettleford's passing in 2010. Mr. Moncrieffe headed the Company until 2018 when he passed on the baton to Mr. Marlon D. Simms, the current artistic director.

👁 ❤ 🇯🇲

[@joanburroughs6775]

Does not measure up to Nettleford's performance. Is that why it was taken down?

[@ndtcjamaica]

You can enjoy the performance of Rex Nettleford in Kumina as his performance is still on our KZbin Channel. He remains a legend.
