The brilliant choreographer and educator mayfield brooks reunites with Roger after their time together in graduate school at Northwestern, ready to discuss everything that brought them together and bonded them in Chicago. We learn all about how mayfield explored dance in their childhood, and we hear a powerful story about the formative experience when mayfield was unjustly arrested, which then inspired them to eventually found their landmark interdisciplinary dance project, Improvising While Black. What follows is a powerful conversation about how to further the legacy of compassionate education and community within teaching environments. Plus, it's a Tale of Two Joannes, when we have a Joanne revelation like no other! Go on Instagram to follow mayfield at @mayfieldbrookz, plus learn everything you can about the folx highlighted in this week's Gayborhood Watch: composer Julius Eastman, civil rights activist Marsha P. Johnson, and poet June Jordan. And don't forget to follow @rogerq.mason, @lovell.holder, @miachanger, and @dgonzalezmusic on Instagram for all your Gayborhood updates!
