Black Ballerina (WoWmen!)
Based on Hector’s relationship to race and classical ballet, Black Ballerina is a powerful exploration of identity, and the unconscious ways we try to blend in.
The piece is a stark, vulnerable journey through the contradictions within this classical form, courageously exploring how the context of white culture has influenced Hector’s relationship to her own blackness and indigeneity. Her performance embraces hybridity, showcasing her dance and cultural perspectives through cinematic tableaus. At its core, the piece examines how the minority body is seen on stage.
This will be the first workshop presentation that will become a full length solo work.
