Freedom of Expression, Is Our Business

I wrote a speech for Dancers for Harris, and one of the campaign leaders reached out to me to recreate my speech into something for social media promo/call to action heading into Election Day. It took me an hour to shape my six-minute speech into a 3-minute poem. From there, the team and I found one substantial minute to create our social media video throughout three rehearsals.
Sarah, our Fearless Director, Marissa Palley, and I made magic in the studio the following rehearsal. It took Sarah one hour to choreograph and teach the outstanding choreography for our film. I must admit, I was in shock I was able to do her intricate and detailed movement. She pushed me as a dancer, and I’m grateful for the push.

So, Freedom of Expression was born!

No matter the result of the presidential election, this piece still rings true to the words I created. Kamala Harris is the best person for our President, and as an artist, it is within my freedom to support her, as her work has supported people like myself. There is no time to lie down and give up. If anything, the fight for all to express themselves is more alive than ever.

Thank you to Dancers For Harris for bringing myself and Sarah Parker together. Sarah's choreography is a blast to dance.
