My Black Body is…

is an interdisciplinary performance that will use song, spoken word, text, digital design, movement,
and photography to amplify the narrative of what it means to walk through life in a body that is black.

How does it feel to inhabit a body that is revered, detested, over-sexualized, ridiculed, fetishized, profaned, killed?
Black art song and negro spirituals will provide the foundation to create this performance of
celebration & reclamation of blackness that is part concert, part spoken word, and wholly theatrical.

ENGAGE@GableStage commissioned Kunya Rowley for his project My Black Body Is. My Black Body Is was created in collaboration with Rebecca L. Hargrove, Ace Anderson and Rodney E Jones II
