NOCTURNE HALIFAX, 2020

Unseat the barriers within a system and overthrow our understanding. Allow the accumulation, show the build-up, and come out on the other side.
Creative expression through dance, drama, or the visual arts is essential to a well formed society and represent an important medium for the telling and shaping of social, political, and cultural narratives.
Hip hop is a contemporary dance style that crosses barriers including race, gender, orientation, and socioeconomic backgrounds. It connects with Millenials and it's one of the most relevant art forms for a generation of young people that often don’t feel heard.
““Watching The Woods makes you feel part of the zeitgeist yet somehow ahead of it, like you’re seeing something that will become even clearer once everyone else catches up.””
