Body Prayers: Choreographers’ Evening Special Edition

https://walkerart.org/calendar/2021/body-prayers-choreographers-evening-special-edition

Body Prayers, a unique and timely edition of Choreographers’ Evening, is organized by the African-Centered Healing Artist, Choreographer, Director, and Cultural Healing Curator DejaJoelle. Her vision with this presentation is to celebrate, acknowledge, and centralize BIPOC choreographers who help fortify the Twin Cities dance ecosystem by refusing to wither in the face of oppression and injustice. A hybrid experience that draws attention to the Joy and Magic of the Minnesota BIPOC dance community, the program features a virtual performance film and a live online artist conversation and community gathering.

The evening-length performance film showcases six powerful new works by Al Taw’am/Iman Siferllah-Griffin and Khadijah Siferllah-Griffin; Brother(hood) Dance!/Orlando Zane Hunter Jr. and Ricarrdo Valentine; Colin Edwards and Canaan Mattson; Ginga da Bahia (Irenio Dos Santos); Julian Hines and Aneka McMullen; and Voice of Culture; filmed by Adja Gildersleve.
