This residency explored networks of care and connection, where knowledge is passed through call and response, creating a fluid and dynamic exchange of ideas. In this collaborative space, the dancers found strength and support from the group, even as soloists, and they continued to deepen their understanding of movement as a tool for collective growth.

“I came to understand that even loneliness has a use, and that sadness is positively the wellspring of creativity...all of life, the sadness as well as the joy, has its magnificence, its meaning, and its use.”

– Alice Walker, In Search of Our Mothers’ Gardens (1972)
