The Jewish holiday of Passover begins tonight. Each year we gather to tell and retellย an ancient story of liberation from bo***ge.ย 

At our recent artist conversation with ,ย ๐™๐™๐™š ๐™ง๐™ค๐™–๐™™ ๐™ฉ๐™ค ๐™›๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™™, performing artist Nickeshia Garrick shared about her solo work in-development calledย ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š ๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™š๐™จ ๐™ฉ๐™๐™–๐™ฉ ๐˜ฝ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™™ ๐™ช๐™จ, ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š ๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™š๐™จ ๐™ฉ๐™๐™–๐™ฉ ๐˜ฝ๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™™ ๐™ช๐™จย - where she explores the question: "Can I be liberated from the thing thatโ€™s enslaved me?"ย 

Rope is central to the work, which combines movement and sound. Nickeshia brought her practice into the space of our gathering - inviting all of us to engage with pieces of rope; to take these tools of bo***ge in our hands - explore them, unravel them, tie and untieย them, connect them, and reflect on community and connection... what bonds us.๐Ÿชข
