Suck it Up 鈥� Dance
A duet confronting the violent fallout of male insecurity and entitlement. Commercial images promise status, offer solutions to inadequacy, and breed entitlement. Internalized deficiency has created a culture of resentment.
Second Seed 鈥� Film Screening
A Dance Film response to D.W. Griffith's 1915 silent film The Birth of a Nation, based on Thomas Dixon's novel The Clansman. Griffith鈥檚 film is an assertion of White supremacy, and a veneration of the KKK. It鈥檚 a call to arms against the changing social/racial structure of America. Our film confronts the myth of Griffith鈥檚 鈥渉elpless white minority,鈥� and the cult of white-victimhood鈥檚 enduring impact on American polity. Second Seed is our collision with this American artifact.
