New Work: Freedom Study 1

Freedom Study 1 is a collaboration between SJRH and the multi-talented Chris Evans. The work will premier at the Black Choreographers Festival  on Feb 26th & 27th at Dance Mission.  Central to the work is the question: When have you felt most free?  Source material for the work includes interviews with people on the question posited and Plato's Allegory of the Cave.
