I am humbly accepting of the opportunity to participate in the 2010 CounterPULSE AIR program! I titled my first posting Begin Again because I am thrilled to have just finished a piece (in November) and have support in place to immediately begin the process once again (in December) to share and expand my love for choreographing!
My 1st rehearsal was actually on Monday December 14th. I came away feeling excited and hopeful as the space just felt so nurturing and productive! I was very pleased with the amount of work I was able to get done in one rehearsal as well as the amazing amount of support that the CounterPULSE showered me with!
There is much to look forward to as I go into rehearsal with the cast for “Home Is That Way?” I am working with 2 artists I’ve never worked with before and one of them is mainly a martial artist. I am apprehensive yet inspired by the potential of the magic we will share in the studio.
More later…
In Peace,
Kendra

Inspired by ancestral, community-centered, and spiritual relationships to land and plants, [and then we must be] by Audrey Johnson is a research and ritual project honoring Black American practices with land and plants through the modes of food, farming, rootwork, and magic. The work honors the practices that get passed down through recipe, spell, and story, as well as the memories active and activated in the body, plants, the land (soil, clay, mycelium, strata), and in spirit.
