WOLF
2019
WOLF is a solo dance performance that explores beautiful magic and tragic happenings in our world. Digging into storms, happiness, the memory of trauma, whiteness, cleaning and transformations, this solo examines falling under spells, the wild beauty of nature and its undeniable impending loss, red wine, red blood and how we get out from under it all. Nayyirah Waheed's salt, Sara Ahmed's The Promise of Happiness, Clarissa Pinkola Estés's Women Who Run With the Wolves, and essays from The Racial Imaginary edited by Claudia Rankine are all lessons informing this project. WOLF is a tonal and energetic work that calls for action and transformation, inviting us to feel, ask questions and consider what else both imaginatively and constructively.
THANK YOU to Trina Mannino of the Dance Enthusiast for your words on WOLF at Danspace Project's DraftWork 3/16/19.
