Neg(ate)

If you had to describe yourself as what you “are not”, who are you?

“Warriors get tired too, we no longer want to fight, our survival shouldn’t be to the detriment of our light , we deserve to be held, safely open and be soft. Today, I give myself permission to flow, may my loving heart stay open aligned with the principles I know, I accept that I’m healing without judgement and expectation, I love my present self and enjoy my manifestations” 

Neg(ate) is an autobiographical solo fusing poetry, music production and choreography. The piece explores intersectionality and the restrictions language places on us in its attempt to construct identity. The piece celebrates the power of “writing yourself into existence” and taking control of the pen that authors your life story. It is through the process of negation that we begin shedding the weight, unlearning and inhibiting our own self-defined connotations and flow.
