In Our Own Words - Voices from 2025 DWB Fellowship Part 2

The October 4th program of sur/renderings: Dancing While Black 2025 Fellowship Showcase gathers three choreographers exploring resilience, remembrance, and healing.

From blooming flowers of resistance to the life cycles of Black women and girls from Milwaukee’s Northside to spells for release and love, these works move through joy, grief, and transformation. Together, they remind us of the power of Black dance to nurture both self and community.

Spells for Falling

Description:

"A sharing of practices to mitigate trauma and create a pathway to more authentic embodiment

I share these spells with you in the hopes that they can help you fall

Fall into your releasing

Fall into inner reflection

Fall into safe spaces

Fall into community

Fall into conversations with your inner child

Fall in love with yourself

Fall in love with yourself again

And

Fall in love with all the versions of you yet to come

May these help you move through and hold what may not be bearable in these times and the future”
