Welcome Back to the Cookout!!!
 
On this weeks episode of FBM: The Podcast we hear from Ife Michelle Presswood; Ife is a queer black fem dancer/Choreographer/model/educator/student and all around goddess from Charlotte NC. Ife is an MFA student in the Embodied Interdisciplinary Praxis in Dance Program (Duke University). Her research, centered at the intersection of Dance, Race and Humanities, aims to investigate the performance of the embodied identities/realities of Black Women Artists and how these embodiments are expressed using art. Through the lens of dance, she analyzes inner and inter corporeality’s of Black Women Artists through choreographic works and curated methodology in order to demonstrate and vivify the need for effective safe spaces (contextualized through misogynoir) and its accompanying attributes: i.e. resources, opportunities, safety/empathy, care and quality training, that allows for valuing, vivification, fluidity and self-autonomy of Black Woman and their artistry.
