provided a live performance centering dances written inside Norco Prison, 6 artists dancing and conversing on creating in carceral spaces (3 choreographic interpreters, 3 formerly incarcerated narrators), Undanced Dances Through Prison Walls During a Pandemic

Dancing Through Prison Walls is a California-based dance and performance project whose mission is to dance with, choreograph with, and tell stories within embodied carceral landscapes and beyond, amplifying voices of incarcerated people, and addressing mass incarceration. Begun in 2016, the work embraces a porous community of incarcerated, formerly incarcerated, and “free world” dancers, choreographers, visual artists, writers, and performers. Their work is, at its essence, a critical dialogue about freedom, confinement, and ways for surviving restriction, surveillance, and denial of liberty through the act of dancing. Moving towards their North Star goal of decarceration and abolition, they dance through prison walls.
