MODArts Dance Collective (MADC) presents Me < We: a solo dance concert virtual replay

MODArts Dance Collective (MADC) premiered The Cleansing, a new work in process choreographed & performed by former MADC company artist Courtney Stewart; presented the repertory work with a new section, Nina Remixed; premiered a new work in process, Me & You; and facilitated a Q & A with Courtney Stewart & the company artists about the intention and creative process behind the pieces performed during the May 4, 2024 Me < We: a solo dance concert. The Cleansing is for anyone living with a hard decision that has affected their day-to-day life. It could be tolerating negative company, living with regret, or being ashamed of the choices they made. It’s time to move forward, cleanse, and heal. Nina Remixed is an ode of self-love through the gaze of a Black woman. It highlights what it means to fully embrace being in a Black body; honoring female sexuality; unlearning habits to better show up for self & others; exploring what it means to be an agent of change within the community; and investigating what it means to be free as a marginalized/oppressed community. Me & You celebrates Black love and what it means to build a lifetime with another person. A Q & A with Courtney Stewart & the company artists concludes the May 4, 2024 Me < We: a solo dance concert.
