About the Event
The Dance Department is delighted to invite you to our upcoming collective conversation...
How We Do: Dance Making, Praxis in Our Own Words
We are shedding light on the magic of the praxis. Most Black dance makers go unrecognized for their contributions and tools they have shared in the field. How they do what they do. This engaging conversation will highlight processes of dance making, centering around tools, devices, conjurings that are used in our choreographic praxis. Please join Joya Powell in conversation with renowned risk-taking choreographers Kayla Hamilton, Marguerite Hemmings and Paloma McGregor, co-leaders of Dancing While Black.
