Matriarch
a full-length, two-act concert dance work that centers Black women and the roots they plant within families, lineages, and communities.
Received
The first act explores perception, acceptance, and the ways in which we receive the world and one another. Through layered movement and narrative, Received examines how grief can surface in many forms—quiet, explosive, tender, unresolved—and how it shapes our understanding of self and lineage. This act asks audiences to sit with what has been passed down, both the visible and the unspoken, honoring the complexity of inheritance without rushing toward resolution.

I Know You
Choreography: Dominique M. Fontenot
I Know You shifts toward recognition, joy, and release—embracing humor, strength, connection, and the power of being fully seen. Rooted in clarity as a source of empowerment, the work culminates in a celebration of Black womanhood, community, and the freedom found through understanding oneself and one’s lineage.
