This video is of a solo dance performed and choreographed by MissMaya hope it speaks for itself and feedback is welcome

Enjoy


**The spoken word is quiet, the words are written below:

Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the hope and dream of the slave.
I rise, I rise, I rise.

But what rises, never to fall again?
Honestly?
I don't feel like I've ever stopped falling...

  • WOW beautiful Maya!! When the music came in and all that lower level movement on the floor. And then that 'transition' ooo at first contemporary fluid movements - gradually becoming more abrupt and aggressive ( ;-) Easy with the "crumping" :P) And then the prop/costume, and the use of lighting really enhanced what was already pretty amazing!! A lot of emotion, a powerful narrative that any audience can relate to and interpret for themselves. Wish I saw it live, might've shed a tear tho
