Abolition in Dance: Methods from the Black Widow
Ravyn Wngz, The Black Widow, offers methods drawn from her burlesque and artist-activist practices to root and give life to the abolitionist in you. The Black Widow's methodology helps participants inhabit and embody their professional and/or policy intentions in a personally sustainable way. Tap into your social location, power, boundaries, and overlooked and/or underappreciated knowledge(s) to liberate yourself and others.
If you have access needs, please be in touch and we would be glad to see what’s possible together.
