This program realizes a living, embodied archive — honoring Chicago’s Black cultural, social, political, and artistic architects through movement, imagination, and lineage. Grounded in the understanding that movement holds lived experience, CBDLP approaches dance as both archive and act, uniting life, memory, and imagination.
