What has being a rapper taught you about life? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rap has taught me about bravery, first and foremost. It is not an arena where I was necessarily welcomed with open arms. You know this, so I’m preaching to the choir, but when I came around it was just a bunch of guys. The whole culture was dominated by men. While some of them were friendly, welcoming, and encouraging even, many of them met me with a lot of ire. And the better I got, the more I was challenged, the more I was a threat, the more problematic I became in those circles. And so to continue to push my way through I had to deal with fear in a real way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s still an arena where there are definitely challenges. I’ve got to deal with this just palpable fear. And so I continue to do it because there are other areas of my life that fear shows up and becomes a roadblock. And I have a practice now of encountering that roadblock, surmounting that roadblock or knocking it down through rap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I love that! You just explained it in such a succinct way, the way that Black women are distanced from the culture we helped create. How do you think that might be connected? When you’re having to be brave, do you think about that when you’re in those spaces?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The way that I approach it is with a certain entitlement. It gives me fuel. It gives me energy. I’m about rematriation. I’m about reclaiming space that was ours to begin with, even if it wasn’t entirely ours. I’m just here for balance. And we all know that the culture, the music, deserves more of a balance than it currently has.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Perfect segue. Dad rap is practically it’s own genre. I’ve always wondered, what are the parallels between rapping and mastering the ceremony of motherhood?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are real parallels because hip-hop wants to be this young art form, just completely entrenched in youthfulness. This is a misperception of what is precious and valued in life, period. The ability to age is an honor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[Sometimes when people say] “dad rap,” it’s a shunning of older men sharing their perspectives. But these are the men who birthed all these young boys who are currently in the game, trying to define it. We should see the full breadth of their experience. The time when they was blinged-out and rapping about being with all the women. And now, the time when they’re like, “Actually my wife is what I want” or you know, “I’ve survived this game.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Yeah, survived the post-Civil Rights era of the ’80s and ’90s.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yeah, and the crack era, all of that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think those older men have a right to speak about that and I’m grateful for it. Our presence is a bit more anemic. I’m not going to outgrow hip-hop, but what I will outgrow, what I have outgrown, is the expression of a certain age group. It’s just real. I don’t want to necessarily graduate to a whole new genre because I’ve outgrown the conversation that is prevalent in my genre. So, I think then there is space and necessity for expressions of women who have aged. And what’s also unfortunate is that there are women who are mothers who are young too. They don’t even talk about that aspect of their lives, which is such a defining aspect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mom rap is needed in the same way that dad rap is needed. What I’m really saying is that an older perspective is important. We have to age with the genre or else the genre will die. Don’t nobody want to hear about the kind of vapid things that we were interested in in our early teens or early 20s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13876766\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 750px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13876766\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/RyanNicoleAustin_COVER.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/RyanNicoleAustin_COVER.jpg 750w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/RyanNicoleAustin_COVER-160x90.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">RyanNicole Austin performing on stage at the 2020 Black Joy Parade in Oakland. \u003ccite>(@jmalphotography)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>OK, so you’ve released a powerful piece called, “Labor.” What are some of the ways in which Black women’s labor is invisibilized? How can your art make it visible?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The piece was inspired by Breonna Taylor. I hadn’t really talked about Breonna the whole time that the situation was going on. The piece came to pass because all I could think about was her being somebody’s child.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I don’t know what the opposite of precious is, but how much of a mortal sin is it to take somebody’s child? Knowing, personally knowing, just the time it took to gestate, and then the time it took…and the care…to eat the right things, to work out, to drink water, to sit down, to listen to my body and to listen to the body of the universe surrounding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first time I could really hear Mother Earth with clarity was when I was pregnant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, there’s a level of sublime preciousness in gestating a life and then the process of birthing that life. It’s a microcosm of our entire lived experience. You have to surrender at a level that you’ve never surrendered before, you have to believe in yourself in a way—you have to deal with fear. It’s one of the most precious lessons we learn in this life, laboring through having these children. And this is not to take away from anybody who has not, but it’s such a precious experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so, to know that life is taken kind of haphazardly. People can kill anybody, but in particular, bust down the doors, shoot aimlessly, come through with droves of people and then go on to cover up that murder—it is just such an affront to my sensibility, not just as a human being, but as a life-giving human being.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, as I was developing “Labor,” all I could think about is how we as women, but particularly as Black women, have mothered so much. We have mothered the culture, have mothered literal lives, have mothered this nation, have mothered this whole thing. Like you’re saying, that labor is invisibilized. But more than that—I don’t know what the opposite word of precious is—trivialized? Not even, it’s worse. It’s so much worse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Demonized?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s the process of not just throwing something away, but shitting on it and setting it on fire, you know what I mean? It’s not just enough to discard us. It’s not enough to discard our effort. It’s to discard the effort and entirely ruin it. It’s not just a physical harm, but a soul-harm. And so when I was writing “Labor,” it was embedded with all of that angst and all of that incredulousness. I can’t believe that humanity, that people who call themselves human, can enact such harm on other human beings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Birthing humanity in its full existence is a Black woman’s work that has been ignored. So really that piece is just like a part of that disdain, that sadness… the profound sadness I feel for humanity that can’t see our divinity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So what can the challenges Black women face teach people about what needs to change in society overall? \u003c/strong>[aside label='More Arts & Culture' postid='arts_13889948,arts_13890197,arts_13890226']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I mean, this is a time when so many people are actually able to empathize a bit more because they’re experiencing some of the things that we experience on a daily basis. Black women who have been impacted by COVID aren’t making a lot of noise about it because we know how to pivot. We know how to make something out of nothing. It’s not to say that the struggle doesn’t need to be acknowledged—it absolutely does—but I think oftentimes we don’t have time to scream and holler about our condition. We have to survive it. So we don’t have the opportunity to advocate for ourselves or champion an issue or cause that is most affecting us. More segments of the population are experiencing the lack of Black women in the workforce…I hope they’re able to zero in on what a day without a Black woman is like on some level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, I think society can learn from the Black woman about resilience. I say “resilience” and then like, I’m having this internal fight against this word because I don’t want to have to always be resilient. I want to luxuriate. I don’t even know what that is, but I’d like to have it. Yet life will throw things at you regardless of who you are. You’ll have to survive and you’ll have to contend with that. I think if the country is to learn anything in this time about survival then they should look to the master-teacher, the Black woman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then from this I think we have something to learn from each other. I think the tide needs to rise for our experience, and hopefully this inspires some empathy among the broader levels of society. Folks don’t want to live through this experience anymore. Hopefully we will work to raise the tide so that all the ships can rise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This interview was edited for length and clarity.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"The multi-faceted artist discusses the parallels between motherhood and hip-hop, and why she’s tired of being called “resilient.”","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1712099578,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":33,"wordCount":1871},"headData":{"title":"With ‘Labor,’ RyanNicole Uplifts Black Women’s Invisible Work | KQED","description":"The multi-faceted artist discusses the parallels between motherhood and hip-hop, and why she’s tired of being called “resilient.”","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":"","schema":{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"Article","headline":"With ‘Labor,’ RyanNicole Uplifts Black Women’s Invisible Work","datePublished":"2020-12-17T20:09:22.000Z","dateModified":"2024-04-02T23:12:58.000Z","image":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png"}},"sticky":false,"templateType":"standard","featuredImageType":"standard","excludeFromSiteSearch":"Include","showOnAuthorArchivePages":"No","articleAge":"0","path":"/arts/13890558/with-labor-ryannicole-uplifts-black-womens-invisible-work","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>Poised, funny and lyrically razor-sharp, Oakland rapper \u003ca href=\"https://www.msryannicole.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">RyanNicole\u003c/a> is a force for good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like most artists in the Bay Area, she wears many hats.

What has being a rapper taught you about life? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rap has taught me about bravery, first and foremost. It is not an arena where I was necessarily welcomed with open arms. You know this, so I’m preaching to the choir, but when I came around it was just a bunch of guys. The whole culture was dominated by men. While some of them were friendly, welcoming, and encouraging even, many of them met me with a lot of ire. And the better I got, the more I was challenged, the more I was a threat, the more problematic I became in those circles. And so to continue to push my way through I had to deal with fear in a real way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s still an arena where there are definitely challenges. I’ve got to deal with this just palpable fear. And so I continue to do it because there are other areas of my life that fear shows up and becomes a roadblock. And I have a practice now of encountering that roadblock, surmounting that roadblock or knocking it down through rap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I love that! You just explained it in such a succinct way, the way that Black women are distanced from the culture we helped create. How do you think that might be connected? When you’re having to be brave, do you think about that when you’re in those spaces?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The way that I approach it is with a certain entitlement. It gives me fuel. It gives me energy. I’m about rematriation. I’m about reclaiming space that was ours to begin with, even if it wasn’t entirely ours. I’m just here for balance. And we all know that the culture, the music, deserves more of a balance than it currently has.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Perfect segue. Dad rap is practically it’s own genre. I’ve always wondered, what are the parallels between rapping and mastering the ceremony of motherhood?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are real parallels because hip-hop wants to be this young art form, just completely entrenched in youthfulness. This is a misperception of what is precious and valued in life, period. The ability to age is an honor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[Sometimes when people say] “dad rap,” it’s a shunning of older men sharing their perspectives. But these are the men who birthed all these young boys who are currently in the game, trying to define it. We should see the full breadth of their experience. The time when they was blinged-out and rapping about being with all the women. And now, the time when they’re like, “Actually my wife is what I want” or you know, “I’ve survived this game.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Yeah, survived the post-Civil Rights era of the ’80s and ’90s.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yeah, and the crack era, all of that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think those older men have a right to speak about that and I’m grateful for it. Our presence is a bit more anemic. I’m not going to outgrow hip-hop, but what I will outgrow, what I have outgrown, is the expression of a certain age group. It’s just real. I don’t want to necessarily graduate to a whole new genre because I’ve outgrown the conversation that is prevalent in my genre. So, I think then there is space and necessity for expressions of women who have aged. And what’s also unfortunate is that there are women who are mothers who are young too. They don’t even talk about that aspect of their lives, which is such a defining aspect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mom rap is needed in the same way that dad rap is needed. What I’m really saying is that an older perspective is important. We have to age with the genre or else the genre will die. Don’t nobody want to hear about the kind of vapid things that we were interested in in our early teens or early 20s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13876766\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 750px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13876766\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/RyanNicoleAustin_COVER.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/RyanNicoleAustin_COVER.jpg 750w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/RyanNicoleAustin_COVER-160x90.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">RyanNicole Austin performing on stage at the 2020 Black Joy Parade in Oakland. \u003ccite>(@jmalphotography)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>OK, so you’ve released a powerful piece called, “Labor.” What are some of the ways in which Black women’s labor is invisibilized? How can your art make it visible?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The piece was inspired by Breonna Taylor. I hadn’t really talked about Breonna the whole time that the situation was going on. The piece came to pass because all I could think about was her being somebody’s child.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I don’t know what the opposite of precious is, but how much of a mortal sin is it to take somebody’s child? Knowing, personally knowing, just the time it took to gestate, and then the time it took…and the care…to eat the right things, to work out, to drink water, to sit down, to listen to my body and to listen to the body of the universe surrounding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first time I could really hear Mother Earth with clarity was when I was pregnant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, there’s a level of sublime preciousness in gestating a life and then the process of birthing that life. It’s a microcosm of our entire lived experience. You have to surrender at a level that you’ve never surrendered before, you have to believe in yourself in a way—you have to deal with fear. It’s one of the most precious lessons we learn in this life, laboring through having these children. And this is not to take away from anybody who has not, but it’s such a precious experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so, to know that life is taken kind of haphazardly. People can kill anybody, but in particular, bust down the doors, shoot aimlessly, come through with droves of people and then go on to cover up that murder—it is just such an affront to my sensibility, not just as a human being, but as a life-giving human being.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, as I was developing “Labor,” all I could think about is how we as women, but particularly as Black women, have mothered so much. We have mothered the culture, have mothered literal lives, have mothered this nation, have mothered this whole thing. Like you’re saying, that labor is invisibilized. But more than that—I don’t know what the opposite word of precious is—trivialized? Not even, it’s worse. It’s so much worse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Demonized?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s the process of not just throwing something away, but shitting on it and setting it on fire, you know what I mean? It’s not just enough to discard us. It’s not enough to discard our effort. It’s to discard the effort and entirely ruin it. It’s not just a physical harm, but a soul-harm. And so when I was writing “Labor,” it was embedded with all of that angst and all of that incredulousness. I can’t believe that humanity, that people who call themselves human, can enact such harm on other human beings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Birthing humanity in its full existence is a Black woman’s work that has been ignored. So really that piece is just like a part of that disdain, that sadness… the profound sadness I feel for humanity that can’t see our divinity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So what can the challenges Black women face teach people about what needs to change in society overall? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"label":"More Arts & Culture ","postid":"arts_13889948,arts_13890197,arts_13890226"},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I mean, this is a time when so many people are actually able to empathize a bit more because they’re experiencing some of the things that we experience on a daily basis. Black women who have been impacted by COVID aren’t making a lot of noise about it because we know how to pivot. We know how to make something out of nothing. It’s not to say that the struggle doesn’t need to be acknowledged—it absolutely does—but I think oftentimes we don’t have time to scream and holler about our condition. We have to survive it. So we don’t have the opportunity to advocate for ourselves or champion an issue or cause that is most affecting us. More segments of the population are experiencing the lack of Black women in the workforce…I hope they’re able to zero in on what a day without a Black woman is like on some level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, I think society can learn from the Black woman about resilience. I say “resilience” and then like, I’m having this internal fight against this word because I don’t want to have to always be resilient. I want to luxuriate. I don’t even know what that is, but I’d like to have it. Yet life will throw things at you regardless of who you are. You’ll have to survive and you’ll have to contend with that. I think if the country is to learn anything in this time about survival then they should look to the master-teacher, the Black woman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then from this I think we have something to learn from each other. I think the tide needs to rise for our experience, and hopefully this inspires some empathy among the broader levels of society. Folks don’t want to live through this experience anymore. Hopefully we will work to raise the tide so that all the ships can rise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This interview was edited for length and clarity.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/arts/13890558/with-labor-ryannicole-uplifts-black-womens-invisible-work","authors":["11725"],"categories":["arts_1"],"tags":["arts_1331","arts_3156","arts_10278","arts_831","arts_1496","arts_2728"],"featImg":"arts_13890568","label":"arts"},"arts_13880766":{"type":"posts","id":"arts_13880766","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"arts","id":"13880766","score":null,"sort":[1590066019000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"if-cities-could-dance-dear-dancer","title":"Dear Dancer: A Video Chain Letter to Move You","publishDate":1590066019,"format":"video","headTitle":"Dear Dancer: A Video Chain Letter to Move You | KQED","labelTerm":{"term":4422,"site":"arts"},"content":"\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/05/ICCD306_Dear_Dancer_Content_Description.pdf\">Download Content Description.\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/05/ICCD306_Dear_Dancer_Downloadable_Transcript.pdf\">Download English Transcript.\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s no doubt that this is the era with the least amount of human connection in modern history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sheltering in place, removed from our communities, we can’t help but feel isolated. And yet as we stay distanced, we still worry the same. We still love the same. We still improvise, and adapt, and laugh the same. Never before has a single thread run through so many sequestered people, all over the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s the theme of “Dear Dancer,” a short film by KQED, which draws on crowd-sourced video clips from 16 dancers across the country. In it, you’ll find the dancers moving as if a single being, with each dancer’s actions flowing naturally into the next. In the moving poetry of Chinaka Hodge that narrates the seamless expression of dancers from all corners of the United States, suddenly, you’re not so alone. Suddenly, the sacrifices you’ve been making seem smaller.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That realization is important at a time when inequities and polarization have only gotten stronger.

Text on screen: “Dear Dancer. From If Cities Could Dance. Spoken word by Chinaka Hodge.” In videos all made outdoors, each dancer has placed a camera low to the ground to capture a moment of dance in 16 different cities. Each 10–20 second shot centers one to two dancers dancing in a park, on a front stoop, on the sidewalk, by a lake, on a basketball court, or on a rooftop. Each dancer begins in the last pose of the dancer before, passing movements across time and space. Dancers appear in the following order as Chinaka’s voice recites the words. Personal descriptions are worded to reflect how each dancer identifies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Brooklyn, NY:\u003c/strong> An African American man on a white-painted city rooftop wears a striped t-shirt, black cap, jeans and high-top sneakers, dancing in a street dance style called flexing. Thick clouds above mirror the texture of the painted surface behind him. Arms flex and fold in and out from his body. With one arm up and one behind, one foot crosses in front of the other to propel him; he passes the dance mid-spin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Harlem, NY:\u003c/strong> A black man with kinky high top hair and a mustache wearing a black sweat outfit and shoes with a tuft of blue shirt peeking out, continues the spin against a low, thick stone wall and trees with new spring growth behind. One hand is held still by his chest as he dances modern style, undulating and swooping. Balanced on the ball of one foot, the other raised and kicked back behind him, one arm long, head tilted back, he passes the dance, back arched.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Miami, FL:\u003c/strong> A multiracial femme woman in shorts and a tank top, hair in a high bun, moves in contemporary, modern dance on a stone patio with potted plants. “A dream within a dream” is written on a muralled wall. She rounds in, and lengthens. Perched on one foot and leaning down into two hands, she passes the dance with one leg extended back and toward the sun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Detroit, MI:\u003c/strong> A black womyn dressed for cool weather in a knit hat and all black, with “Michigan” in yellow lettering on the front of her sweatshirt, moves in contemporary, modern dance across the length of a small cement stoop at a tan stone house. Feet and torso face one direction as she looks back over her right shoulder, left arm raised in the air. She is on the balls of her feet, eyes closed, and as she plants her feet firm, she passes the dance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Albuquerque, NM:\u003c/strong> A Jicarilla Apache woman hip hop and freestyle dances in front of a red adobe house with a front yard of stones and low plants. She wears flowing blue pants, a copper shirt and long beaded earrings. She travels the full front walk in her dance; she leaps, kicks, slices through space. In a deep lunge, arms raised, she looks over her left hip and pulls her right hand back toward her face to pass the dance.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>San Jose, CA\u003c/strong>: A Chicano man is poppin in a black shirt with an orange embroidered letter “B,” tan pants and a black cap. He’s on a small stone front stoop to a light stucco house, slowly traveling from one end to the other. Calla lilies tower up from the ground by the house. His body leans to the right, his right knee bends in toward the left, his right elbow raised in the air, he pops into position to pass the dance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Oakland, CA:\u003c/strong> An African American contemporary dancer is on an apartment complex basketball court. He has a full ebony beard and long hair beneath a black cap. He wears a T-shirt and jeans with a shirt tied around his waist. He incorporates sign language into his dance, translated onscreen: “My heart, our heart, we dream together America. Express.” Leaning his weight into one hip, he extends both arms in front of him, hands rounded as if holding his heart, and he offers it to pass the dance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Minneapolis, MN:\u003c/strong> Two Native American (Seneca and Muscogee Creek) men and brothers dance on a trim lawn by tan brick buildings and weeping willows, branches still nearly bear. They wear T-shirts and have long hair pulled back. They practice a traditional dance called hoop dancing and are dancing in sync. One dancer with earrings and a beaded necklace sinks low to the ground on his right foot and left hand. Hoop held up in his right hand, he kicks his left leg straight out, passes the hoop over his foot to pass the dance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Seattle, WA:\u003c/strong> A nonbinary Filipinx femme similarly extends their left leg straight out on the banks of a lake with park and city stretching out in the distance. There is a carpet of cherry blossoms below their feet. They wear a frilly-sleeved mint top that shows their midriff, track pants, and a homemade colorful mask covering their mouth and nose as they move in street style dance. Their white socks have black text embroidered on them that reads, “Venmo me.” They lean into their right hip, weight on both feet, their left arm stretched in front to pass the dance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Atlanta, GA\u003c/strong>: A young black female in a sweatshirt with wide stripes, black jeans with tears, hot pink sneakers and long braids styled into a high bun picks up the dance on a pebble trail that winds past a pond. Behind her are lush green trees and brick buildings. She is a hip hop dancer, her shadow sharp and directly beneath her. In profile to the camera, she wraps her right arm up and around her head, takes a deep step backward and pushes her arm forward to pass the dance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>San Francisco, CA:\u003c/strong> A queer black man is dressed in all black, at the edge of grass and a paved park path. Behind him is a row of ornate houses, the downtown cityscape just beyond. His head is shaved on the underside, long braids wrapped into a bun atop his head. As he vogues, his braids come loose and swing and flow. He dips, right leg bent beneath him, left extended to the sky, arms out, back arched and head on the ground to pass the dance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Silicon Valley, CA:\u003c/strong> A multiracial woman with light brown skin and short curly hair wears a hot pink sweatshirt in her manual wheelchair on a thick, nearly horizontal branch of an oak tree. She curves her arms and upper body in contemporary dance moves. Balanced on her chair and with her left hand extended behind her, she sweeps her right arm up and around her head to pass the dance.\u003cbr>\nSan Juan, PR: An Afro-Puerto Rican woman dances bomba and is dressed in a long white dress and leggings with a white scarf tying back her hair. She is on a stone platform by banana trees and lobster claw flowers, and two tall wooden barrel drums stand beside her. She swiftly steps and turns in profile to the camera, right leg straight, left bent deeply, arms raised with her right elbow forward and left hand behind and above her head to pass the dance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Memphis, TN:\u003c/strong> An African American man on a backyard patio surrounded by trees wears a red, black and white track suit, black cap and dark red sneakers. He is jookin near a small area of shrubs in red bark dust. He glides and hops to his body in profile, his face forward. He balances weight on his left heel and right toes, arms raised at sharp angles, elbows bent, hands pointing down to pass the dance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Washington, D.C.:\u003c/strong> An African American man dancing in the beat ya feet style wears tan pants and a gray shirt. His hair in long, full twists, he is in a parking lot at a salmon-colored brick building. His shadow reaches long on the asphalt to his side.

And yet as we stay distanced, we still worry the same. We still love the same. We still improvise, and adapt, and laugh the same. Never before has a single thread run through so many sequestered people, all over the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s the theme of “Dear Dancer,” a short film by KQED, which draws on crowd-sourced video clips from 16 dancers across the country. In it, you’ll find the dancers moving as if a single being, with each dancer’s actions flowing naturally into the next. In the moving poetry of Chinaka Hodge that narrates the seamless expression of dancers from all corners of the United States, suddenly, you’re not so alone. Suddenly, the sacrifices you’ve been making seem smaller.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That realization is important at a time when inequities and polarization have only gotten stronger. As Antoine Hunter, an Oakland dancer featured in “Dear Dancer,” says, “We need to find a way to move together—not try to selfishly move within ourselves as individuals, but together as a country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Dear Dancer” is inspired by \u003ca href=\"http://www.mitchellrose.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mitchell Rose’s\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3pFxsYPLgU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Exquisite Corps, \u003c/a>which experimented with capturing dance choreography over time and space long before COVID-19.

Text on screen: “Dear Dancer. From If Cities Could Dance. Spoken word by Chinaka Hodge.” In videos all made outdoors, each dancer has placed a camera low to the ground to capture a moment of dance in 16 different cities. Each 10–20 second shot centers one to two dancers dancing in a park, on a front stoop, on the sidewalk, by a lake, on a basketball court, or on a rooftop. Each dancer begins in the last pose of the dancer before, passing movements across time and space. Dancers appear in the following order as Chinaka’s voice recites the words. Personal descriptions are worded to reflect how each dancer identifies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Brooklyn, NY:\u003c/strong> An African American man on a white-painted city rooftop wears a striped t-shirt, black cap, jeans and high-top sneakers, dancing in a street dance style called flexing. Thick clouds above mirror the texture of the painted surface behind him. Arms flex and fold in and out from his body. With one arm up and one behind, one foot crosses in front of the other to propel him; he passes the dance mid-spin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Harlem, NY:\u003c/strong> A black man with kinky high top hair and a mustache wearing a black sweat outfit and shoes with a tuft of blue shirt peeking out, continues the spin against a low, thick stone wall and trees with new spring growth behind. One hand is held still by his chest as he dances modern style, undulating and swooping. Balanced on the ball of one foot, the other raised and kicked back behind him, one arm long, head tilted back, he passes the dance, back arched.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Miami, FL:\u003c/strong> A multiracial femme woman in shorts and a tank top, hair in a high bun, moves in contemporary, modern dance on a stone patio with potted plants. “A dream within a dream” is written on a muralled wall. She rounds in, and lengthens. Perched on one foot and leaning down into two hands, she passes the dance with one leg extended back and toward the sun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Detroit, MI:\u003c/strong> A black womyn dressed for cool weather in a knit hat and all black, with “Michigan” in yellow lettering on the front of her sweatshirt, moves in contemporary, modern dance across the length of a small cement stoop at a tan stone house. Feet and torso face one direction as she looks back over her right shoulder, left arm raised in the air. She is on the balls of her feet, eyes closed, and as she plants her feet firm, she passes the dance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Albuquerque, NM:\u003c/strong> A Jicarilla Apache woman hip hop and freestyle dances in front of a red adobe house with a front yard of stones and low plants. She wears flowing blue pants, a copper shirt and long beaded earrings. She travels the full front walk in her dance; she leaps, kicks, slices through space. In a deep lunge, arms raised, she looks over her left hip and pulls her right hand back toward her face to pass the dance.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>San Jose, CA\u003c/strong>: A Chicano man is poppin in a black shirt with an orange embroidered letter “B,” tan pants and a black cap. He’s on a small stone front stoop to a light stucco house, slowly traveling from one end to the other. Calla lilies tower up from the ground by the house. His body leans to the right, his right knee bends in toward the left, his right elbow raised in the air, he pops into position to pass the dance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Oakland, CA:\u003c/strong> An African American contemporary dancer is on an apartment complex basketball court. He has a full ebony beard and long hair beneath a black cap. He wears a T-shirt and jeans with a shirt tied around his waist. He incorporates sign language into his dance, translated onscreen: “My heart, our heart, we dream together America. Express.” Leaning his weight into one hip, he extends both arms in front of him, hands rounded as if holding his heart, and he offers it to pass the dance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Minneapolis, MN:\u003c/strong> Two Native American (Seneca and Muscogee Creek) men and brothers dance on a trim lawn by tan brick buildings and weeping willows, branches still nearly bear. They wear T-shirts and have long hair pulled back. They practice a traditional dance called hoop dancing and are dancing in sync. One dancer with earrings and a beaded necklace sinks low to the ground on his right foot and left hand. Hoop held up in his right hand, he kicks his left leg straight out, passes the hoop over his foot to pass the dance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Seattle, WA:\u003c/strong> A nonbinary Filipinx femme similarly extends their left leg straight out on the banks of a lake with park and city stretching out in the distance. There is a carpet of cherry blossoms below their feet. They wear a frilly-sleeved mint top that shows their midriff, track pants, and a homemade colorful mask covering their mouth and nose as they move in street style dance. Their white socks have black text embroidered on them that reads, “Venmo me.” They lean into their right hip, weight on both feet, their left arm stretched in front to pass the dance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Atlanta, GA\u003c/strong>: A young black female in a sweatshirt with wide stripes, black jeans with tears, hot pink sneakers and long braids styled into a high bun picks up the dance on a pebble trail that winds past a pond. Behind her are lush green trees and brick buildings. She is a hip hop dancer, her shadow sharp and directly beneath her. In profile to the camera, she wraps her right arm up and around her head, takes a deep step backward and pushes her arm forward to pass the dance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>San Francisco, CA:\u003c/strong> A queer black man is dressed in all black, at the edge of grass and a paved park path. Behind him is a row of ornate houses, the downtown cityscape just beyond. His head is shaved on the underside, long braids wrapped into a bun atop his head. As he vogues, his braids come loose and swing and flow. He dips, right leg bent beneath him, left extended to the sky, arms out, back arched and head on the ground to pass the dance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Silicon Valley, CA:\u003c/strong> A multiracial woman with light brown skin and short curly hair wears a hot pink sweatshirt in her manual wheelchair on a thick, nearly horizontal branch of an oak tree. She curves her arms and upper body in contemporary dance moves. Balanced on her chair and with her left hand extended behind her, she sweeps her right arm up and around her head to pass the dance.\u003cbr>\nSan Juan, PR: An Afro-Puerto Rican woman dances bomba and is dressed in a long white dress and leggings with a white scarf tying back her hair. She is on a stone platform by banana trees and lobster claw flowers, and two tall wooden barrel drums stand beside her. She swiftly steps and turns in profile to the camera, right leg straight, left bent deeply, arms raised with her right elbow forward and left hand behind and above her head to pass the dance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Memphis, TN:\u003c/strong> An African American man on a backyard patio surrounded by trees wears a red, black and white track suit, black cap and dark red sneakers. He is jookin near a small area of shrubs in red bark dust. He glides and hops to his body in profile, his face forward. He balances weight on his left heel and right toes, arms raised at sharp angles, elbows bent, hands pointing down to pass the dance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Washington, D.C.:\u003c/strong> An African American man dancing in the beat ya feet style wears tan pants and a gray shirt. His hair in long, full twists, he is in a parking lot at a salmon-colored brick building. His shadow reaches long on the asphalt to his side. Eyes cast down, he steps and twists his feet and legs wide and narrow, wide and narrow to pass the dance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Chicago, IL:\u003c/strong> A black queen with short curly black, blonde and pale blue hair wears an open red and black letter jacket with “Creation Global” on the back, a black sports bra underneath. She dances Chicago footwork on the rain-darkened sidewalk in front of a house, a purple-leafed tree behind her. She makes a final turn, crosses one foot in front of the other, raises her hands to her forehead and bows to end the dance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The film ends with all 16 dancers on screen, each in their own tile, four rows of four stacked atop each other.\u003cbr>\nCredits On Screen: Featured Dancers In Order of Appearance: Drew Dollaz, Brooklyn, New York; Jerron Herman, Harlem, New York; Marissa Alma Nick, Miami; Erika Stowall, Detroit; Anne Pesata, Albuquerque;Alex “Prince Ali” Flores, San Jose; Antoine Hunter, Oakland; Samsoche Sampson and Lumhe Sampson, Minneapolis; Angel “’Moonyeka” Alviar-Langley,\u003cbr>\nSeattle; Jalaiah Harmon, Atlanta; Jocquese “Sir Joq” Whitfield, San Francisco; Alice Sheppard, Silicon Valley; Mar Cruz, San Juan; Terrance “G-Nerd” Smith, Memphis; John “Crazy Legs” Pearson; Washington, D.C.; and Donnetta Jackson; Chicago\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Producer, Editor: Kelly Whalen; Additional Producer: Charlotte Khadra, Elie Khadra; Associate Producer: Vivian Morales, Masha Pershay; Production Assistant: Chinwe Oniah; Special Thanks: Amy Miller, Mariclare Hulbert, Melissa Higgins, Ichun Yen; Support is provided by the Osher Production Fund.
