Showing NEWNEWNEW program D June 7th 5 pm @abronsartscenter a part of @newdancealliance Performance Mix Festival—————- NEWNEWNEW is a performance-based work set within musical vignettes and scenic structures, which works to allegorize a story of excessive egotistical solution building. These vignettes utilize live sound building to create a mosaic that exposes misguided and exploited forms of aid intended for communities that have a historical lack of resources and promise. This work will explore the trajectory of aid and labor as it becomes increasingly assimilated into dominant capitalist superstructures, examining the degradation of function and community concern in favor of market value, status, and clout. —- excited to be creating new work/more to come

🔦ARTIST SPOTLIGHT
Morgan Gregory: yo yo rappin is a lifestyle you know what the fuck im sayin

yo yo rappin is a lifestyle you know what the fuck im sayin is a performance-based work that seeks to understand the initiation of intimacy, shame, stimulation, and empathy for self between the crossroads of native spiritual worship and Eurocentric understandings of religion, specifically examining the afro-music subcultures of gospel and hip-hop. It questions how braggadocious-ness exists in communities of generational (monetary, spiritual, social, ecological) lack. In development, yo yo rappin is a lifestyle you know what the fuck im sayin examines, in a deeper context, the matriarchal role of Black women within the binary of realism and the metaphysical, as well as oral sources and histories of Black, Southern Christian religious communities, pulling from Gregory’s own experiences as an artist raised in southern Virginia. This piece will specifically utilize a cast of bodies with lineages from dance and theatre. Multimedia components and archives of southern Black churches will be featured, with a performance of live mixing/ looping samples of original worship sounds, trap/hip-hop, and synth.
