Wideman Davis Dance Film Screening + Conversation

We Dance is a love story, deconstructed and distilled into its most elemental ingredients. Dreams. Memories. Family. And environments. Through stunning visuals and vivid poetry, Tanya Wideman-Davis and Thaddeus Davis take us from Chicago to Montgomery, from New York to the point where their lives meet and become one. Along the way, they honor and signify on Black American art, poetry, and literature. They offer commentary on the importance of movement and migration to Black American identity, lived experience, and consciousness. And they show how all of our stories are kept, in the places we’ve been, and in the food we eat, and in the dreams that we so steadfastly chase.

A Film by Ethan Payne and Bryan Foster, produced by Wideman Davis Dance.

The screening will be followed by a conversation with those present about their experience of the themes of memory, family, food, and legacy.
