Dance
Surrendered Spirits es una excavación introspectiva de las formas en las que exploramos las experiencias de la infancia, el reclamar nuestra identidad, y la relación paralela entre el duelo y la alegría. Incorporando memorias y espiritu con movimiento, musica, y voz, esta pieza usa un lente politico de las mujeres queer femeninas, y las personas de color.
“Imaginemos un mundo en el que sanamos heridas inter-generacionales por medio del cuidado colectivo, valorandonos y dando espacios incondicionales a las mujeres queer de color. Un lugar donde podemos explorar las verdades de la niñez que han influenciado nuestra percepción del mundo. Espíritus rendidos es un mundo ideal traído a la realidad por medio de virtualidades emocionales y espirituales, todo a través de melodías y ritmos que atrapan.”
