Full circle: bridging the gap


Through the perspective of a young person of color trying to join a new and intriguing community, Full Circle addresses cycles of violence recurring throughout American history since Congress’ abolishment of slavery in 1865. The work is influenced by Chris Law's upbringing as a black man during hip hop's explosion in the 1990s and it features an innovative blend of modern dance and hip hop movement. The piece evolved as Chris and Ama Law both became frustrated with the volume of police brutality being reported in the news. 
​
   Full Circle allows audiences to explore issues that are affecting American citizens. It is our intent that this production empowers both the youth and adults in our community to feel welcome to share their views regarding our heavy social and political climate. We are encouraging dialogue that will lead to a better future.
