About this event:
Join Vermont Public and Myra Flynn to celebrate the end of Homegoings Season Two with a night of engaging conversation, reflection, and self expression with choreographer Marjani Forté-Saunders.
Host Myra Flynn will talk with Forté-Saunders about coming to activism by way of movement, and how she celebrates the long-deserved freedom for Black and brown bodies — in dance. Their conversation will be recorded for a future episode of the podcast.
Forté-Saunders is an award winning choreographer and performance artist, as well as an educator, community organizer, facilitator, and visioning founder of the burgeoning platform Art x Power which is dedicated to building resilient futures for Black Artists, by creating pathways towards long-term, fiscal and creative wellness.
Forté-Saunders defines her work by its lineage stemming from culturally rich, vibrant, historic, loving, irreverent conjurers. With joy, Forté-Saunders' most creative, commanding and rewarding practice is as a mother, which operates inextricably alongside her visioning as an artist.
Following the taping we invite you to mix and mingle while enjoying snacks from Santiago's Cuban Cuisine and a live DJ set by Myra Flynn.
