From the Center Out - Archiving Black Dance In The U.S.

Gesel, a choreographer living in Austin, Texas, walks us through solos that a hip-hop dancer and an expressionist dancer taught her over 10 years ago. "From the Center Out - archiving Black dance in the U.S." is about how a dancer's body remembers and what those memories sound like. During rehearsal, we're transported to scenes from the solos and we experience the stories and emotions driving them.

According to xmtr.fm:

“As Gesel dances, she talks and through her voice we experience her movement in a visceral sometimes uncomfortable way. If you’ve ever wondered how dance could be represented just through sound, this piece does exactly that”.
