Join us for a performance by resident artist HOPE followed by a Community Celebration! Blending burlesque and contemporary dance styles to resonate with shedding parts of yourself to find another, HOPE expresses the journey to self-love, discovery, and meeting with your inner self, inspiring flow and unity within the mind and body. After the performance, visitors are invited to use the theater as an expressive space for free movement and shedding of their shadows in a Community Celebration & Dance Party with sound-bending frequencies by DJ Afr0delic! There will be food available for purchase to support local Black businesses. This is the final programming event in connection with HOPE’s solo exhibition “dancing with my shadows: a journey to self discovery” in Creative Alliance’s Amalie Rothschild Gallery. Come celebrate together!
