The series, filmed on location at MMoCA earlier this year, is the company’s first digital dance production focused on elevating the work of emerging Black choreographers. Choreographers Kia Smith, Rachelle Fochs, and Jacob Ashley are each paired with a filmmaker to bring a new work to life in the three short films. Lift Every Voice includes Mercy, choreographed by Rachelle Fochs; Ethos of Force, choreographed by Kia Smith, and La Vie En (Ode to Serendipity), choreographed by Jacob Ashley. Each choreographer will describe their projects in advance of their films, and all three choreographers will be available for a question-and-answer session after all three films are viewed.

Chairs will be provided, but bring a camp chair or blanket if you prefer.
