This Body is My body - Dance as resistance

Abortion bans are undoubtedly rooted in white supremacy and these abortion restrictions will disproportionately impact our BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, youth, and low income communities. This is a VIOLATION and the direct colonization of women’s bodies, reproductive rights, and liberty.

Although we are horrified at how the government continues to put into question peoples right to choose and make choices about their own body we dance, we shake, and we move as a form of resistance, as a form of embodying freedom, & conjuring justice.

A special thank you and loving shout out to our Urban Bush Women familia for showing us the My Body call and response that inspired the title of this community video.

Thank you to all who shared their brilliance, their bodies, their breath and their spirit to the making of this offering. May we continue to create, play, dance, come together, and listen to our bodies. May we keep moving together for our right to choose and to be the boss of our own future and body.
