BU BÖLÜM HAKKINDA
Volume 2!! I am so thrilled to be back in your ears ya’ll and this Volume is something extra special because it's 100% femmes of color.
We are starting strong with Chicago dancer and dancemaker Hannah Santistevan. I first saw Hannah performing with Chicago based dance company The Seldoms and was immediately drawn in by her stage presence and all around badassery. I fell in love with Hannah's choreography after viewing several videos that she shared via Instagram. Her movement made me feel grounded and I found myself always catching a vibe with her while watching.
Today we will be discussing her latest work The Brink. Created with the support of Links Hall’s Co-Mission, The Brink “ is a contemporary dance theater work containing reenactments of the highs and lows of modern civilization.” When I watched it I couldn’t help but think about where we currently were in the Pandemi Lavato. I think it’s a beautiful work that beautifully encapsulates feelings around this current time. I sat with those thoughts for days. The Brink makes you think deep ya’ll.
My co-host today is Dee Alba. If you are a part of Chicago dance and don’t know Dee then you aren’t paying attention. I’ve been lucky enough to perform on stage with her and she is such a bad bitch. Dee is 100% that bitch that you want on stage with you and also next to you at the afterparty. You can find her dancing with The Seldoms, Loud Bodies Dance and Erin Kilmurray’s the Function. Lets go ya’ll.
