A Message fromMx. Black Copper Mx. Black Copper, a trans-dimensional, hyper-empathic being, projects their consciousness back to our time from a future that has abolished oppression and reversed climate change. Upon their arrival, they sense the troubling atmosphere of our time and reflect the joy and grief of the planet as a message toward liberation.
“My creative history with New Dance Alliance goes a way long. Since my friend, Chivas Sandage brought me to New Dance Alliance to rehearse in early 90’s, the place has become a part of my creative life. The long time existence of the studio and Performance Mix Festival are vital to the artists who seek and explore deep into their process. Whenever I step into the studio, it’s a new space with a lot of memories. I lie down on the floor, listen to my body, and I dance. It is valuable. The time in the space nurtures my practice and artistic vision. Karen’s vision of Lift-Off residency, feedback sessions, providing peer to peer connections are more significant than ever. It has been helping us to get through 2020 and we are going into 2021.”
