uprooted

UPROOTED is a live music and dance showcase produced by movement collective, eMBODY. The event highlights 10 brand new collaborations with disciplines in music and dance. Each pair was tasked to reflect on the themes of shedding old layers, transformation, and emergence and how that can be infused into their performances. The show raised $1,394 for F2L Network, a critical community effort working to end the incarceration of Black and brown queer, 2spirit, enby, and trans people in NY.

I was paired with NYC-based DJ, ciringe to create a 30min pre-show set. We combined our disciplines and integrated sound bowls, an ocean drum, music, and a breath-work meditation to set the tone for the entire night.
