Description: i, heresy, a new dance work by Princeton senior Storm Stokes, speaks to the ontology of the Black spirit ‘in liberation’ from the oppressive constrictions of colonial religious traditions. Combining dynamic and percussive movement, body casting, and projection, Stokes’ capstone work captures a critical discourse between the residue of white supremacist religious ‘rights’ and Black femme and queer wayward ‘wrongs’ within the site of the contemporary (Gen Z) Black believer.
