Please join me and Damaris Webb for a work-in-progress showing of our latest work, Standing Together.

Standing Together is a personal work and evolving collaboration engaging race, ancestry, and somatics. Standing Together is two people standing together to relate through language, movement, and life stories. They show up, stand up, and own up.

Showing: 7:30-8:00 PM
Feedback/conversation 8:00-8:30 PM

Flock’s Critical Engagement Series brings together audiences & choreographers in hopes to reveal some of the mystery surrounding the language around dance & the unique practices of individual choreographers. We start with the question: What does the choreographer need at this particular moment in their process & how might this also serve the wider community?

Damaris Webb is a theater maker as social justice advocate. She has created new works for the stage with diverse communities around the U.S. and internationally; her work lives in the intersection of contemplative dance, improvisational performance art, and contemporary theater. She is the co-director of The Vanport Mosaic: a multidisciplinary non-profit dedicated to presenting, celebrating, and preserving the silenced histories of the Pacific Northwest in order to better understand the present. damariswebb.com
