Idle Crimes & Heavy Work
A dance research collaboration exploring the history of
Black women’s incarcerated labor, resistance, and restoration in Georgia.
Using archival and embodied research, interactive live performance,
dance films, workshops, and community gatherings,
we connect the stories of women past and present to
sites throughout Atlanta embedded with their labor
through dances of love, resistance, and joy!
