Dance and Social Justice
HowlRound: Together with a host of collaborative choreographers, designers, artists and musicians, New Mexico School for the Arts’ Dance and Visual Arts departments created a site-specific community-centered performance at The Santa Fe Railyard. Our goal with this work was to create art from a place of liberation while “unperforming” inaccurate oppressive historical perspectives of others and, in turn, of ourselves, all the while subverting notions of where dance and performance happen and what it means to be an audience member.

It's great to see teachers take their classes and take it outside of the classroom. I think that this is one of the best ways for us to learn. Having the opportunity to be given a site and work with your surroundings to create something so different than what you would on a stage is something you can only learn about by doing. Being taught that in a classroom is hard because you can't experience it. I'm glad there are people out there who understand this and encourage it.
