Recognizing Women Project Kick-Off

Choreographer, anti-racist organizer, and inter-spiritual practitioner Nathan Trice is the founder and artistic director of nathantrice / RITUALS Dance. Theater. Music. performance group. He has been in residence at Brooklyn’s historic Billie Holiday Theater for nearly 20 years, with a mission to develop residencies and performances that reflect the importance of empathy, compassion, and social understanding.

In 2001 Trice created the Recognizing Women Project in response to being raised by women and a deep fascination of the power, stamina, and wisdom that live in their stories. The Recognizing Women Project has been committed to developing residencies and performances about women by gathering local community, young adult and adult female dancers, with students and practitioners of the social sciences, to work as a research analysis team. The project’s goal is to explore the commonalities in women’s experiences across generations, and present these findings through discussions and performances. 

The Recognizing Women Project will be presented in four monthly workshops (November, December, and January) beginning with this event in October and culminating in a full-stage performance on Friday, March 22, 2024, during Women’s History Month.

Who can participate? Daughters, sons, mothers, fathers, grandmothers, grandfathers, great-grandmothers, great-grandfathers… anyone who knows a woman is invited to participate.

How do you participate? Share your stories and perspectives through the monthly workshop experience.
