here is a video collection. videos of dances that span a little over a year now, in and out of various living spaces. so much has happened, so much time has passed. here i am, there i go.

"My interest is in black popular and social dances for the ways they resist containment but hold history. They continually change, as people respond to new environments. At the same time as dances work to record and share experience, they also are ephemerally about the moment they came out of."

i’m on youtube again. here’s a gestural explorationy thing. i just really like this song.

currently writing a paper on this beautiful and powerful piece by Donald McKayle. he’s kind of brilliant.

Dance majors from Hollins’ Movement Studio III class create an installation performance in conjunction with “Echo Sounding,” an exhibition at the Eleanor D. Wilson Museum.

 

i am in this video with all my classmates. this was a great experience, i hope we continue to explore this kind of practice.
