About Inscribed in "Me"
a powerful, stunning, and exceptional performance
Grapevine Magazine
Inscribed in “Me” is a solo contemporary dance performance with a distinct physical prowess, powerful vocals, and captivating music that explores both personal and historical experiences related to the boundaries of feminine blackness. It is a journey of self-discovery, authorship and healing in the midst of adversity; a pursuit that leaves audiences moved, impacted, and wanting to know more.
“As I do my best to navigate this world, I become more aware of all of the stories I carry. So Inscribed into “Me” is a reflection of the ways I must negotiate the complexities of race, gender, and so much that is deeper.”
This show is touring as part of the Rural Touring Dance Initiative, a national project which supports dance artists and rural promoters to make great dance performance events happen in rural spaces.
