TIDES reimagined by Project ChArma will be live streamed on the Dance Place website on July 25th @6:30 PM EST and re-broadcasted on Facebook Live on July 26th @6:30 PM EST. TIDES interrogates legacy and how one stays connected to ancestral knowledge in the face of generations of grief and trauma. The theme of water as a passageway and vehicle for movement of the African diaspora brings together collaborators to create a distanced site for resistance, renewal, and rebirth. We are so excited that TIDES is part of the "Free Form" no-cost summer programming series. We thank Dance Place for continuing to make opportunities for dance not only possible, but accessible to all during these unprecedented times.

Please consider making a donation to support this new virtual adaptation of TIDES at Dance Place! Your donation will subsidize the incredible performance and design-based artists involved in this work. Project ChArma is also designating a portion of collected proceeds to benefit the WDAC-DMV, a local collaborative coalition of Women Dance Artists of Color in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia. Established in 2017 in-partnership with Dance Place, a group of local self-identifying women of color dancers created the WDAC-DMV to strengthen a local network of practitioners of women dance/movement artists by increasing opportunities and access to liberated spaces for our shared organizing, community-building, creative-play, and dance-making.

Legacy

WDAC preserves and builds upon the legacy and history of Women Dance Artists of Color in the DMV as an international, multi-cultural dance-hub by addressing issues that affect our communities.
Picture

Learning

​​As keepers of modern griot traditions, dance-making is as a valuable and accessible tool for sharing knowledge/experience while increasing dialogue, transformation, and empathy through somatic perceptions, observations, and investigations.
Picture

leadership

The coalition builds equity from within by creating mutually supportive spaces to bear witness, to open possibilities for ease and healing, to foster social bonds, and for collective problem-solving.
WDAC-DMV actively rebukes systems of white-hetero-patriarchy in all forms, including being beholden to metrics-based outcomes and performative measures of “success.”  ​

To connect with our community in the midst of isolation. To show and share black girl joy.
​To honor our ancestors, the ones who made it & the ones who didn't.
