Movement for Re-Imagination w— Aaron Samuel Davis
In this episode, my guest is dancer, performer + choreographer Aaron Samuel Davis. While he currently lives in Bremen, Germany where he dances and performs with a state theater there, he’s originally from the US. Aaron brings an artistic, eloquent perspective to the importance of movement for imagination and paying attention to the seeds of this moment. We also talk about how movement helped him re-imagine what it means to live in a black body and why creativity is essential as we face the history of this moment.
