Turn. Turning. TURNT. is a three-part evening of dance comprising work constructed prior to, during, and following the 2020 global pandemic. Tether meditates on Black girls’ creativity and play as life strategy. Fallow depicts the chaotic underbelly of the pandemic through movement. Summon. Sow. Reap. explores our re-emergence from isolation through deep rhythm and spiritual patterning.
