Made in France 10 Reflection

Upon my graduation of 4 years of hampshire college, I planned to do an extravagently wonderful event where I would gain access to some of the artists with whom I did not get a chance to work with at my small liberal arts college. I applied for MADE in France: (MADE = Movement Arts and Design in Europe). In 2010 the theme was movement and sound design.

After choreographing my first dance, a solo about black women, my family lineage, rape and intergenerational trauma, I wanted to futher pursue the craft of dance making. In this first dance, I collaborated with a wonderfully tallented sound designer: Allison Smart, and was very much influenced by the relationship between sound and movement. I went to MADE extremely excited about the program ahead of me.

Upon my arrival, I met the director of the program Liz Claire.
