The Blueprints:
CHOREOGRAPHIES FROM UNDERGROUND

Harge is currently developing a living document of Black feminist performance praxis rooted in choreographic strategies she developed and inherited through communions with elders, ancestors, landscapes, Black feminist scholarship, and artists in Detroit. Sourced from Harge’s vast archive of butcher paper scrolls—a material she has consistently used to capture her studio notes and choreographic processes over the last decade—The Blueprints listens into these sprawling paper objects as choreographic invitations to move, study, and make with the lessons of the Black underground. 

Project Interlocutors: Marcia Black, Devin Drake, Laila Franklin, and Miryam Johnson
