Drop-In to black/water this week! We are focusing on womanist performance.

Black/water is a rigorous virtual course for individuals interested in womanist public performance, climate justice, and reparations. Participants will be expected to work independently and in small groups. The course is open to everyone regardless of expertise. One must be an avid reader, writer, and critical thinker to get the most out of the course.

About the session

In this workshop, we will examine the cultural and sociopolitical impact of womanist and Black feminist theatre and experimental performance from the 1970s through the movement for Black lives. The term “womanist,” coined by Alice Walker, is rooted in the cultural and political work of Black women's freedom. We will explore womanist and Black feminist performance praxis as a holistic framework for creative activism, movement building, and liberatory transformation through a range of creative texts and media.
