This week, we're talking to konverjdans dancer and collaborator, Antuan Byers.

This episode was recorded in April 2024 as we were preparing for konverjdans's Season 8 performances of HYPHA. It should be noted, that this episode was recorded before the summer 2024 firing of dancers from Dallas Black Dance Theater and the events thereafter which is why the topic was not discussed. We commend Antuan and the dancers of Dallas Black for their relentless advocacy in this fight for dancers' rights.

"As we move forward, we must continue to hold them accountable for their actions, while fighting to ensure that [DBDT] is an institution that upholds the values it preaches..." -Byers

Antuan and I discuss his work with his non-profit Black Dance Changemakers and the secrets to his self-care routine.
