A Woman's Song for Peace
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
The highlight of Dance Brigade’s 50th Anniversary Celebration Season will be the creation, performance, and touring of A Woman’s Song for Peace — a new dance theater work featuring original, live music by iconic musician and activist Holly Near, seminal queer feminist singer-songwriter Ferron, and groundbreaking Afro-Caribbean jazz artist Christelle Durandy, intertwined with Dance Brigade’s fierce, nuanced choreography and signature melding of styles with Hip Hop, Modern, Salsa, and Taiko — utilizing these storytelling components to convey a larger narrative about social justice and liberation.
A Woman’s Song for Peace is Dance Brigade’s contribution to the current political and social dialogue around peace, war, and foreign policy in our society and the world. Bearing witness to wars in the Middle East, in Ukraine, in Sudan, and a culture/rhetoric of war and violence in society and at the Southern border. Moving through the intense and divisive Presidential election cycle in which these issues are front and center and argue about specific details of foreign policy — it’s easy to forget a shared basic desire for peace.
