This video show snippets from the process of creating Color [ME] Africa. it was and eight week process involving ten dancers from the College of the Atlantic. The material being dealt with was a contemplation of the state of contemporary Zimbabwe. The psychosocial experience of poverty and oppression. The driving idea was that of a gestural collective reality.

There are more images of this performance in the gallery.
