Shared Evening: Blood brother(hood) Trip the light fantastic toe!/J'Sun Howard

Demonstrations, marches, sit-ins/dice-ins/love-ins, rallies, prayer: are there alternatives to these forms of protestation that we can employ to generate positive change?J'Sun Howard's Working On Ameliorate Versions of Prayers: Version I  is a poetic testimony in which miracles tin erupt at whatever moment. "My aim is to make a dreamscape that can exist a possibility for a future world," writes Howard, a Chicago-based dancemaker and poet who most recently performed at Danspace in the Bessie Award-winning work of Darrell Jones. Howard is inspired b "radical hope," a concept articulated by author Jonathan Lear who was influenced by ideas from he last hereditary Master of the Crow Nation, Enough Coups (1848-1932). Howard and performers/collaborators D. Banks, Damon Green, and Will Harris create a charismatic space for joy, exploring the intimacy betwixt queer men of colour, flirting with notions of divine radical presence and how it "holyficates." Director:J'Dominicus Howard; Dramaturge:Raquel Monroe.

An early version of Blood brother(hood) Dance!'s how to survive a plague  was seen during Danspace'south Platform 2016:Lost & Institute. In this interdisciplinary meditation on the creative generational gap betwixt those lost in the global AIDS epidemic,Orlando Zane Hunter, Jr and Ricarrdo Valentine investigate who survives and whose stories are told during and after life, and explore methods of healing, care-giving, and living testimonies in a ritualistic setting of movement, sound designed by Hunter and alive singing by Starr Busby, and aromatherapy by Nicole Wilkins. In a "reverential gesture to lost ancestral creative dreams," Hunter and Valentine seek to venerate the Black African bodies that were exiled from the urgency of care and shunned by their communities and government. Costumes by Emmy Honour-winning designer Shane Ballard.

The Opulence of Integrity

The Opulence of Integrity

The Opulence of Integrity

"To be born, branded by history, burdened by responsibility, and inspired towards greatness requires a committed center and an opulence of integrity."- Choreographer Christal Brown

Inspired by boxing's outspoken superstar Muhammad Ali's career as a boxer and life as a social activist, public martyr, and man beingness, The Opulence of Integrity deploys eclectic motion and multiple media to illustrate the turmoil of a life infused by divinity yet misinterpreted by humanity. By using Ali equally an archetype, The Opulence of Integrity explores the struggle for identity for men of color in the United States with an intimate and expansive look at social, economic, and spiritual trappings that prohibit freedom. Brown pours her own experience into the work and dedicates it to her father, brother, and uncle who, in her words, "fought merely did not win" and to her son "whose battle has not yet begun."
