A Woman’s Song for Peace
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Krissy Keefer's Dance Brigade kicks off its 50th Anniversary Season with a seven-city West Coast Tour of A Woman's Song for Peace, a new dance theater work featuring performances by iconic musician and activist Holly Near, seminal queer feminist singer-songwriter Ferron and groundbreaking Afro-Carribbean jazz artist Christelle Durandy, intertwined with Dance Brigade's fierce, nuanced choreography. Dance Brigade is sponsoring this seven-city tour to make an indelible mark on the upcoming inauguration. This is a cry for peace to end all wars so that peace and justice can prevail, not only in the Middle East but also in Sudan, Ukraine, and at the borders and inner cities of the U.S.
"As we move through an intense and divisive Presidential election cycle in which these issues are from and center, Dance Brigade offers A Woman's Song for Peace with the aim of reorienting audiences to our shared humanity and desire for peace. We believe that this collaboration can unify and activate people. We offer it as a gift to our communities for healing, transformation, and a vision for a way forward," says Keefer.
