Time. Space. Universe(s) and the key connector being our souls and bodies as one or many. Dancing reflects our times and our ability to reimagine and reshape our reality. Though my life environment called for lack, I am deciding to respond in abundance. It's crucial we make our MOVEment matter.

Philosophy
Television series Lovecraft Country (2020) by Misha Green illuminates the In-Session theme of “call and response” by exploring Black intergenerational healing while combating the traumatic impact of white supremacy with the use of Black magic. We witness each character take Afro-futuristic journeys to remember, reclaim, and reimagine their identities at the intersections of Blackness, queerness, and spirituality. The text was selected because it amplifies Rodney and Jessica's yearning to embody and fight for Black liberation in our multidimensional universe through ancestral creative and spiritual practices.
