in the space between is a river towards care and liberation. This body of work explores identity politics as a vessel toward freedom through the abstract language of contemporary dance. Expansive movement, breath, and tactile fabric textures guide Victoria Lynn Awkward and collaborators as they carve space, transcending into joy, beauty, and pleasure. in the space between invites audiences to stretch into the erotics as defined by Audre Lorde, a necessity for the realization of liberation in an often vicious world.
"You do not have to be fire for every mountain blocking you. You could be a water and soft river your way to freedom, too."  Nayyirah Waheed
