This work features performances by Lela Aisha Jones, Makeda Roney, and nia的爱.

"The center of gravity in my work is the question of blackness and the complexity held within the experiences it names: resistance, 对艺术品的爱好, 打破, 高流动性对企业有利, 过度的约束. I aim to destabilize and dismantle ‘dance,’ redressing it as gesture–the memory of movement and geographies held in the body. My work gets made under the viewer’s gaze: interfaces between the audience, 我的肉，和 object-sonic environment, produces experimental flows of real-time visceral response and improvisatory action. I craft for the stage and beyond: galleries, gardens, farms, and most recently, the ocean floor.——我爱你
