Through States Of Hope, a fully scripted, evening-length, new dance theater work, Hope Boykin shares experiences and insights in a multifaceted excavation of self-discovery, reshaping, and renewal—a dance memoir of sorts. Eight vocal bodies, including Boykin as narrator, will bring her movement-language to life with an original score by Ali Jackson, poetic moments, and prose. This contemplative work and personal narrative is a vulnerable exploration of the artist’s life.
