For its debut at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center, Red Clay Dance Company will present their latest compelling work that highlights the company’s commitment to artistry, activism, and community. Rest.Rise.Move.Nourish.Heal, choreographed by Vershawn Sanders-Ward, is a site-responsive dance ritual and embodied journey of reclamation, healing, and spiritual return. Drawing from Black/African-Indigenous traditions and ancestral technologies of nourishment, the work confronts the legacies of food apartheid and racial inequity while envisioning a decolonized practice of collective care and agency. The program offers audiences an evening of resilience, memory, and transformation.

Run time: 65-minute performance followed by post-performance discussion.
