How can a new movement practice become a framework for decolonizing the body? En Ritmo a movement praxis in decolonizing traditional dance spaces utilizes elements of bomba (the song, music and dance form) of Puerto Rico and contemporary dance to aid the development of an alternative movement practice to traditional dance forms of North American. En Ritmo aims to elucidate the concept of decolonization and how it can be applied to the movement of the body through journaling, communing, journeying through repetition, movement, and rhythmic investigation. Centering the auto, locating the self and situating within the collective.

Come witness the choreography of ten phenomenal choreographers including myself.

Choreographer Kayla Farrish’s newest work maps the journey of marginalized characters taking the reins of their own narrative. A dance-theater work set to a score that explores Black American music, Put Away the Fire, dear takes Old Hollywood cinema techniques, such as thriller, film noir, romance, and musical, and revamps and remixes them for a live performance that intentionally disrupts oppressive tropes.

Presented in conjunction with the Guggenheim exhibition Going Dark: The Contemporary Figure at the Edge of Visibility.

Supported with a Works & Process LaunchPAD residency at The Watermill Center.

Put Away the Fire, dear is a 2023 New England Foundation for the Arts’s National Dance Project grantee, with lead funding from the Doris Duke Foundation and Mellon Foundation.

Put Away the Fire, dear was commissioned and created, in part, with the support of The Joyce Theater Foundation’s Creative Residencies Program made possible by lead funding from the Mellon Foundation.
