Black Collectivity Presents: A Practice of Return [In-Person Only]
The Black Collectivity Project is excited to partner with NWFF to present film programming connected to BCP’s upcoming performance, A Practice of Return. Featuring film works by contemporary artists Akoiya Harris, Nia-Amina Minor, and Abdiel Jacobsen, the evening will conclude with the rarely-screened 1979 documentary tribute to dancer-choreographer-educator Syvilla Fort titled Syvilla: They Dance to Her Drum (dir. Ayoka Chenzira, Alma’s Rainbow). The screening brings together films that highlight dance, storytelling, and the transmission of both individual and collective memory.
Born in Seattle in 1917, Syvilla Fort was an influential artist who began her dance career in the 1930s at the Cornish School (now Cornish College). She went on to find fame as a performer in the Katherine Dunham Company and was recognized as a transformative dance educator in New York.
