She-Verse is a multimedia piece inspired by drifting water, land, ancestors, bravery, and eco-feminism. A meditation on dance, time, the body, femininity, and oneness with nature, She-verse choreography investigates intersections between traditional and contemporary dance, the earth and the female body, and the treatment of women to the treatment of land. The choreography looks at two traditional African Diaspora dances, one from Guinea, and one from Jamaica, and analyzes their movement qualities referred to as “movement essences”. These essences are used to create improvisational structures and contemporary dance phrases that derive from the traditional to expand into contemporary dance contexts. Dancers’ stories include movement related to #metoo, the colonization of the Caribbean Islands, and the survival tactics we need to exist in a world afflicted by oppression and the adverse effects of climate change.
