growing roots through concrete

a dance film by danielle swatzie

director/choreographer  - danielle swatzie @daniswatziee 

cinematographer - kamryn harris @kamryynn // @rynproductions

composer - CJ Williams-Inniss @seajayy_

This work is an illustration, depicting the reclamation of individuality and collaboration, through confrontational transparency. It serves as a group embodiment of emotional exchange through physical movement in efforts to understand the meaning of forming a union. While navigating through the complexities of feminist thought and racial circumstances, these women attempt to challenge themselves to find radical connection, and radical love to manifest radical change. How do we seek wholeness within ourselves, in order to achieve a desired wholeness as a people?
