Repertoire Powerful Performance with Community Engagements:
Urban Jazz Dance Company - Deaf's IMPRISONED
Antoine Hunter/Urban Jazz Dance Company ( African, Indigenous, Deaf, Disable, choreographer) created One Hour and Ten Minutes raw compelling works on what it means to be living in a “prison within a prison” as a Deaf person pulling from interviews with Deaf prisoners. Performers will use sign language, spoken text, dance (modern, pointe ballet, and jazz), film, music and silence to look at the lives of Deaf people: What does it mean to be a Deaf person in prison? A Deaf woman of color? In these interdisciplinary works, we explore the tension between Deaf utopia and Deaf diaspora. Deaf’s IMPRISONED is intended for both Hearing and Deaf audiences. Follow by Q and A!
Workshop can be provided.
This performance had been performed in UK, Russia and California(USA).
