Still, We Dance

This collaborative process was made by 7 dancers in Chicago from 7 different cultural backgrounds and incorporating 7 different dance forms. The purpose of the project was to show the resilience of our local artists and community during this pandemic. Each dancer separately chose a location, culminating in an homage to the various landscapes and surroundings of Chicago. The composer has given permission to use the music.
