About CinnaMoon Collective:
CinnaMoon Collective is founded by Irma Villafuerte and Nickeshia Garrick, a Central American and Afro-Caribbean contemporary dance duo that is dedicated to reclaiming and honouring ancestral stories from a decolonial perspective, with the mission to ignite collective healing and recontextualize identity through the lens of black, indigenous and racialized femme presenting queer bodies. We are committed to forming part of the movement that is dedicated to magnifying the voices that have been silenced and erased. We aim to share works that reach our audiences and communities on a human level.
What will you be sharing at DanceWeekend’24?
‘Surrendered Spirits’ is influenced and inspired by the impact of familial displacement and our upbringing as children of racialized, marginalized and immigrant families.
This work encompasses the relationship of two femme, queer black and brown women who face each other seeking to heal the inherited ancestral and familial wounds. They find support in their sisterhood and the power of collective care.
This presentation is a work in progress and excerpt of a full-length work.
