The series Feeling Her Way: Dancer Response begins on November 6, 2024.
On each of the First Wednesday Night Free programs for the duration of the exhibition Sonia Boyce: Feeling Her Way, an invited dance artist will perform in the gallery, prompted by the sounds and visual elements of Boyce’s installation.
Performances are improvised and approximately 30 minutes in duration.
