Woke
Love, Entanglement, Healing & Restorative Justice
A powerful new choreography inspired by injustice portrayed in recent world events, Choreographer & Artistic Director Patrick Parson uses spoken word, dance, and rousing video imagery to bring forth a piece that evokes awareness, reflection, empowerment, and hope. Ballet Creole, whose past works have touched on difficult themes and events through a culturally diverse expression, utilizes strong images, physicality, and gripping poetic words to evoke heartfelt messages of truth, inspiration and unity. Together we rise. Together we are strong.
Disclaimer – Some of the images used in this production depict racially motivated violence, and as such may be disturbing to some audiences.
