February 29 - March 2, 2024

i, heresy, a new dance work by Storm Stokes ’24, presented by the Lewis Center for the Arts’ Program in Dance

Dancer Storm Stokes

Location: Hearst Dance Theater at Lewis Arts complex on the Princeton University campus

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.

Admission: Free and open to the public; advance tickets encouraged through University Ticketing at tickets.princeton.edu.

Accessibility: The Hearst Dance Theater is an accessible venue with an assistive listening system. The February 29 performance will be open captioned. Guests in need of other access accommodations are invited to contact the Lewis Center at least one week in advance at lewiscenter@princeton.edu
