A Salable Hark Lure 2017-2020
A Salable Hark Lure is a choreographic triptych sourcing the theme of ancestry as it relates to personal and collective experiences of whiteness and white supremacy culture. The first section for this piece, Without a Map, was formed in part at a six-month residency at New Expressive Works and shown in March of 2019. The second section- Whitewashed- was performed at FLOCK as part of their Critical Engagement Series in February of 2020. The third section, Reformation, and the evening-length engagement were to be shown in a two-weekend run at New Expressive Works in the Spring of 2020. Due to Covid, we were never able to perform the piece in full. Thanks to Becky Spark, Celine Bouly, Gina James, Nancy Ellis, Ness Hallow, Paula Helen for the generative collaboration on this work; to Bonnie Scott for the animation; and to Intisar Abioto- photo credit.
