Tell it on my Body: Somatic Storytelling & Living Folklore w/ Namir Fearce Aka BLU BONE
Tell it on my BODY:
In this 4 part series, we will excavate our bodies as a vessel of story, and archive of living.
Through both movement and writing exercise we observe, and scribe the language of our bodies that empowers us to communicate beyond the word with agility, and potency.
With this language we will fashion personal folklore to both tell our story as we have lived it, and have yet to live.
Before you ever whisper a word, your body tells the story. So tell it on my body baby.

BLOOM will be held in the southwest corner of the Black Market, where over 50 vendors gather monthly in our very own Black Wall Street. Similar to a West African Taneber or drum party, the dance artists will showcase their work interwoven with participatory experiences and art-making activities.
