Premiere: The Conversation Series: Stitching the Geopolitical Quilt to Re-Body Belonging

To Purchase Tickets: CLICK HERE.

This collaborative, immersive work, performed by two men with different racial and cultural backgrounds, is an ongoing and always shifting dance-quilt, confronting and celebrating heritage, resilience, justice and hope. Activating technologies of the body, tools and toys in a non-colonizing fashion, this work centers belonging as a way to disrupt the erasure of silenced stories and forge paths towards justice/equitable landscapes. The Conversation Series: Stitching the Geopolitical Quilt to Re-Body Belonging is a dynamic intersection of contemporary dance, performance art, technology (video and interactive gaming), music, fashion and design.

This premiere performance will feature sections inspired by conversations with Colorado state residents between 2021 and 2024 during community programs and workshops organized in collaboration with The Collective Community Arts Gallery (Lafayette), Mi Chantli Art & Movement Sanctuary (Boulder), CU Boulder (Boulder), Dance Initiative and the LaunchPad (Carbondale), University of Colorado - Colorado Springs Visual and Performing Arts (Colorado Springs), Lafayette Youth Advisory Commission (LYAC) (Lafayette), and RedLine Contemporary Arts Center (Denver). Each performance will be followed by Q & A sessions with the artist and special guests. This event is the feature program for the annual (un)WRAP series.

This performance premiere is made possible in part by Visit Boulder and Create Boulder.
