Name of Company: The Performance Garage's DanceVisions 2021-2022 Resident Artists yaTande Whitney V. Hunter and Jude Sandy of Denizen Arts
Description: Walk The (pink) Elephant memorializes multiple generations of (often queer) culture workers of color decimated by HIV/AIDS, and particularly members of the Black arts communities that were ravaged by the disease.
Through a process of simultaneous research and generation, WT(p)E will seek to evoke and commune with the more hidden, intimate legacies of some of the many BIPOC, queer artists who succumbed to the HIV/AIDS epidemic, as well as the lives of those who continue to carry that loss in ways both subtle and profound.
Denizen Arts will collect testimony of survival from members of our communities who have cared for others with HIV/AIDS or who live HIV+ lives. These stories will be source material for a work of multi-disciplinary story-telling, using movement and physical metaphor, rhythm, sound, voice, text and ritual to consider this heritage and our place in the world anew.
