Are redoing a count down i tried to think about this room as the dream room, where we dream and bring some of those dreams to life. I feel very blessed that i have been able to spend the last 31 years of my life doing it my way, thinking about things better interesting to me, and then pursuing them. There are a lot of different artists that come here to work, mostly doing aerial work. Kindred spirits, so to speak. There is a Circus Company that i have been fortunate enough to work with the last couple of years. I use elements of dance and choreography and combine that with theater techniques. A lot of the work is content based, has a strong narrative. The dancers have more of a theatrical feel. I think we are best known for our specific work. In the last 15 years, spending a lot of time focusing on issues that affect us and are related to the africanamerican experience, here in the united states. I had heard of Marcus Shelby and had been in join his work but never had the opportunity to meet him. We were brought together by the equal Justice Society specifically for this project. We were charged with beginning work. Marquez and i spent a lot of time addressing our own position on the Death Penalty, our experiences with people who had been incarcerated, family members, friends of friends. Pulling our information. Beyond that, we did our own research. To create a picture that resonated with humanity. It is the shape of a house. In this context, it is also small and acts like a cell. I thought that was an interesting play on how these people make these adjustments, half to create home. What is home for these people . The home is their cell. People talk a lot about noise very noisy in prisons. That is interesting to me. Looking at the communication level, the rise of frustration of being caged, wondering, where does redemption fit into the equation here . [singing] i think both of us really believe the Death Penalty is wrong, and is flawed for many reasons. The list is as long as my arm about several others. We feel this is important for both of us, personally, to participate in the debate of this issue in a way that we can help people frame it for a conversation.
