Babay L. Angles is currently seeking an intern to edit recorded interviews and dance footage to document most recent project:

 

“Dreaming in BedStuy” uses movement and sound that honors the loss, resistance, and hope of its residents. Movement will be informed and accompanied by soundscapes created by recorded audio from interviews asking BedStuy residents the following questions:

 

What or who have you lost/gained in BedStuy in the past ten years?

What are the current problems/patterns we see in BedStuy?

What does daily resistance, look, sound, feel like in BedStudy?

What does freedom look, sound, dream, and feel like in BedStuy?

Movement practices include the cypher, call/response, hand clapping games, live percussion, storytelling through testimonio, and social and street style dances such as breaking, Vogueing, Waacking, and Hip Hop. In a moment where our bodies as people of color have been marked as dangerous, hypersexual, or invisible, this work uses movement to witness and testify our stories of struggle and resistance, and imagine new stories and narratives for our community.
