At the heart of the movement is the continued embodiment of Black woman liberation, connection to their ancestors, and the reclamation of the Caribbean dancing body through joy and resistance.
“I am honored to have performed at the Performance Mix 37…PMF plays a very inspiring, influential, and unique role in redefining the role of theater and performance art in society. I hope we continue to think about how this festival means so much not only for dance fans/ students, but for art lovers and the general public.”
