you black + bluised is a continuation of [exercises in getting well soon], a project / meditation based on the loose and often used phrase indicating a hope of recovery. These “exercises” have been articulated as movement, installation, games, endurance, ritual, poetry, and collective action, and consider the possibility of performance as a space for reparative action. you black + bluised is a site specific work that will make use of the architecture and positionality of Abrons Arts Center to wrestle with the “they versus us” paradigm through sound, movement and tableau.

This work will presented in three sections, entitled Prayer, Protest, and A Pieace.
