Recipes, coffee franchises, fashion, even outfits worn to museum galas are labeled "iconic."  The performing arts have no shortage of them either.  Towards the end of 2021, two very different ones who deservingly earned that moniker received renewed interest, partially untied by themes of female empowerment. It was the audience at the December 4th evening performance of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre who helped make it perfect.  They willingly showed vaccination cards, applauded the "mask on" announcement and cheered non-stop.  To quote the Gospel lyrics heard at the end of the evening in Revelations, "There is trouble all over this world."
