Krissy Keefer’s Dance Brigade Presents:

A Woman’s Song for Peace

Featuring
HOLLY NEAR, FERRON & DANCE BRIGADE
with Christelle Durandy, Jan Martinelli, Tammy Lynne Hall, Michaelle Goerlitz, Shelley Jennings

A Tribute to the Past, A Vision for the Future

The highlight of Dance Brigade’s 50th Anniversary Celebration Season will be the creation, performance, and touring of A Woman’s Song for Peace – a new dance theater work featuring original, live music by iconic musician and activist Holly Near, seminal queer feminist singer-songwriter Ferron, and groundbreaking Afro-Caribbean jazz artist Christelle Durandy, intertwined with Dance Brigade’s fierce, nuanced choreography and signature melding of styles with Hip Hop, Modern, Salsa, and Taiko – utilizing these storytelling components to convey a larger narrative about social justice and liberation.

A Woman’s Song for Peace is Dance Brigade’s contribution to the current political and social dialogue around peace, war, and foreign policy in our society and in the world. We bear witness to wars in the Middle East, in Ukraine, in Sudan, and a culture/rhetoric of war and violence in our own society and at our Southern border. As we move through an intense and divisive Presidential election cycle in which these issues are front and center, we argue about specific details of foreign policy – and it’s easy to forget that we all share a basic desire for peace.

A Woman’s Song for Peace aims to reorient our audiences towards this priority, helping us remember our shared humanity. We believe that this collaboration can unify and activate people, and we offer our artistic response – a creative cry for peace – as a gift to our communities, an aid for individual and collective healing and transformation, and a vision for a way forward.
