Free Center

Come out and watch the film version of "Renaissance Gyal"! Renaissance Gyal is a choreographic work, set on a cast of Black women, that explores the ways in which Black women have set a precedent for culture in America, while simultaneously being erased. Inspired by the renaissance, this piece frames Black creativity in movement, music, art and style as a continuous cultural boom deserving of both deference and celebration. At each turning point Renaissance Gyal reflects how American Blackness is a melting pot of many different cultures that unite under the term of Blackness. Through each movement, song, dance and chant it tells the stories of those of Afro-Caribbean, Afro-Latinx, Afro-American and African heritage who have come to live in America.Choreographer: Lauren Horn// Subira Vs.
