Today, I'm officially dancing as a dtx member for the first time outside of Muhlenberg!! I'm so excited to launch it with this performance. Although dark and deep and going down places people hate going down, this piece encourages conversations about race- about our nation's history and foundations in a multi-perspective atmosphere. Even in the politely blanketed state of Texas, avoiding racially charged conversation after seeing this show would be a chore. Nobody is getting off the hook that easy. And in a place like Texas, we are all excited to sample the audience's responses once that blanket has been removed.
TAR (the remix) looks at race in it's many facets. It does not resolve or provide an answer. It is a starting point for audiences to find their own resolution. TAR is trying to excavate the unsaid here in Austin and get people- all people- loving each other, really and truly.
This is my solo from a dress rehearsal. If you can't come see the full show, the history on this song in particular could serve as your jumping off point in sharing our conversation. Happy Friday.
