something soft is a multimodal performance ritual from Ma’at Works Dance Collective (Mawu Gora, Jah Elyse Sayers, Majesty Royale-Jackson) exploring modalities of softness through diverse ideas of technology. Through multiple invitations we invite the audience into rhythmic somatic patterns, sensory exercises and lullabies to reimagine how we hold, suspend and care for ourselves. Afro Presentism speaks of the future as a moving present. We implore these strategies and use technologies from Alexis Pauline Gumbs, undrowned to imagine ourselves in our softest humanity. The work is inspired and made with, and by, black, neurodivergent, queer, trans and non-binary folk in mind.
Note: performances are shifted and informed by their preceding workshops, so each of the 3 shows will be distinct experiences.
