Electric motion
Fierce, staccato, and percussive
Dancing bodies explore a tapestry of sound
Luscious movement
Languid and viscous
Viscerally slowing time
Telling a story—manifesting emotion
Churning like vast primordial ocean
Its surface permeated by fractals of light
From its depths rise inspiration
Explosive and turbulent
New iterations of this karmic ballet
Pirouettes of passion
Projecting joy and vitality
Glorious extensions
They attenuate
Stretching limbs to their maximum potential
We dance to celebrate life
To celebrate survival in a world of war
Our dance is defiant
Embodying thirst for transformation
Contractions of the torso convey empathy and solidarity
Expressing emotional contradiction
Longing for deep connection
Amidst fear of vulnerability and pain
We can see ourselves in this dance
Moving wildly with fluorescent abandon
Captivating and illuminating
Healing and liberating
I see powerful movement
Appearing almost effortless
Deep dope divine dance
Giving voice to blood memories
Articulating a beautiful physical language
Language of oppression and resistance
Language of hope and rage
The limbs attenuate
Fingers seeking flight
Extending in search of transcendent power
Reaching for a portal to cosmic resonance
Reaching for an indigenous spirituality
Moving to illuminate facets of subterranean yearning
This dance is transcendent
It is sacred testament
Testament to vitality and resilience
To creativity and imagination
Aspiring for emancipation of our global human tribe
