“Working with movement artist and choreographer, Amir Hall, I will be developing How We Dance Our Way Back Home, an interdisciplinary VR performance ritual and digital experience that explores the Black soul, its historic endangerment and imagines its salvation. The project includes a masquerade performance with a VR installation component that represents two devotees of the deity Edana.”
