Join Us for an Evening of Dance Exploration: Nourish - I'm on Fire
presented by Midday Movement Series Rough Drafts
“Nourish - I’m on Fire” is a new mythological biography about a magical extraordinary place, which if I described it to you, it would sound like fiction. This dance-in-process reveals hidden truths about a woman’s cyclical capacity to regenerate, produce life, and to retire and move to Florida over the course of a lifetime.
The dance stems from Nourish, my multiyear community based restorative practice of recognizing and choosing what you need in the moment, and from seven years of solo repertory.
By resourcing memory and invoking affirmations, I invoke a reckoning with perimenopause, stillbirth, and Black maternal health. My experiences with parenting twins, ancestry, privacy, shame, grief, and liberation all interplay. I theatrically prioritize states of being and relating by singing, miming, and inviting viewers to reflect on their experience. Comfortably relatable and at times humorous, “Nourish - I’m on Fire” aims to build an authentic relationship with the audience by revealing new worlds.
Your presence will add depth to the conversation and energy to the performance. See you there!
