What ' Coming up Next for Rejoice!
American College of Nurse Midwife’s 66th Annual Meeting and Exhibition May 23-25th https://annualmeeting.midwife.org/ “Dismantling Racism in Midwifery:Acknowledging the past and building a better future.”Key Note Speaker…Angela Davis Who We Carry- *Newest Rejoice Production* Who we carry represents the emotional, physical and mental labor we bare daily, generationally and communally as we process grief. The labor sets us up for our future, with gratitude for the labor that came before, we step into our power (demanding love in action, owning vulnerability and manifesting our intimate visions). Who we carry also embodies our current research of the African American tradition of Ring Shout. Our Collaborators Elijah Hasan, Film maker & Videographer http://www.elijahhasan.com/ Tamara Ladonna Williams, Scholar, Ring Shout mentor, Moving Spirits Founder & Artistic Director http://www.movingspirits.org/ Shalanda Sims, Project Vocalist and World Stage Theater Artistic director https://worldstagetheatre.org/ Habiba Addo, Project Vocalist and local teaching artist http://www.habibasvillage.com/ "At The Dinner Table"
A Virtual Film Premiere + Dance Party January 24 - February 7 We are done asking for a seat at the table, we are building our own. We acknowledge the ancestors that helped pave the way, the lives lost which sparked movements, and the mess that meets us at the door. Using an Afro-futuristic perspective, we want to know how you will show up, what you will give, and if we will ever sit down together. Please join us as we adapt to this virtual atmosphere, while still speaking up for the social fabric that we continue to find ourselves in. |
