Black 1.3

The Black Speculative Arts Movement - LA
KAOS Network, Leimert Park 9.29.19 "Black 1.3 - Fall Black" explores the themes: Fall into the Blackness|Darkness, Embrace the Darkness, Our Time is Darker, Post-Fall Equinox, The Nights are Longer. My format of performance aims to give the dancer and their particular body agency in telling a story. Addressing the body of a dancer as it exists off stage and in history. I focused on the approximately equal nature of an equinox relating it to the approximate equality I experience as a black man in the U.S. Diving into history to source the fabric for a re-stitching of what I've come to see as my life, while calling into the future to imagine the questions that need to be asked to help me arrive there. The piece explores and explains, revolving concepts, imagery, and meaning around themselves to deconstruct the strict notions many bring into the theater, projecting onto our work. The work is also fully captioned and uses light scoring to make dance theater as inclusive as possible for the Deaf community. By addressing my desired spoken word format, I am able to have more dialogue with more people. |
