Considering dance as text and text as dance RootsUprising aims to deepen the conversation of what equitable social justice can be.
Program accomplishments
- Who We Say We Are WWSWA - This program was a choreographic multimedia town hall on citizenship that centered the question: Who gets to call themselves a member of this community and how in fact do they do it? WWSWA employed film audio interviews dance and community conversations to expose the present and lived reality of systemic racism tethering Boston. The dancers of RootsUprising a collective of intergenerational BIPOC women with diverse origins and connections with Boston offered a glimpse into their lived experiences as dancers and as people with multiple intersecting identities. Through a choreographic weaving of audio voice-overs movement documentation and live dance performance WWSWE helped viewers navigate through the social construct of race and identity in Boston interspersed with recorded interviews with Boston-area leaders for an additional layer of perspectives. There were three hundred and five audience members.Expenses $28,000
