The Reclamation Dance Project
This film is the beginning of an inside glimpse of the Black woman’s psyche in the climate of 2020 to present day. Through African-fused movements, we will delve deeply into themes such as ancestry and reclaiming one’s self outside the realms of society’s standards of what and who a Black woman is.
