Moving Our Stories...
Moving Our Stories uses participatory dance, memory mapping, and interactive site-specific performance to
amplify Black women, all folx who identify as such, and the communities, histories, and experiences that shape the world around us, as a strategy towards building collective empathy, empowerment, and joy for all.
Through dance workshops, choreographic practice, creative and scholarly research, and community dialogues,
we draw on a deep history of embodied storytelling traditions and creative movement practices.
Moving Our Stories experiences are multimodal, using improvisation, choreographic processes, writing,
and group discussionto investigate the ways our histories live and move in our bodies.
Together, we move our stories to find new connections between ourselves,
each other, and the world around us.
