DBDT hosts virtual performance
Embedded in this rich work, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s speech “We Shall Overcome” becomes the embodiment of faith and protest. Choreographer Tommie-Waheed Evans will speak about his timely work Bodies as Site of Faith and Protest, which explores the idea of bodies uniting in protest through faith.
The Dallas Black Dance Theater-DBDT dancers will share their perspective about the process and journey to performing this work. You will be able to engage in conversation by sharing your comments and asking questions. You don’t want to miss this experience!
