Mayfield Brooks
This presentation will focus on the practice of Improvising While Black (IWB)—an interdisciplinary dance project and dance improvisation experiment created, choreographed and conjured up by Mayfield Brooks. The seed for IWB sprouted out of Mayfield's personal experience of being racially profiled when driving while black (DWB) in San Francisco, California. The project is a multifaceted inquiry into dance improvisation, blackness and survival, and lives in "the wreck" of collective dreams and desires for some kind of real or imagined future.
This event is presented by the Department of World Arts & Cultures/Dance.
