Kayla Farrish is a Black American choreographer and director merging dance-theater, filmmaking, narrative, and sound score through the lens of BIPOC folk stories and marginalized perspectives. Magical realism “dreams the gaps” among erased records of histories and lineages—unearthing, reckoning, and reimagining what was there, offering ode and remembrance, generating life in the in-between, and making way for the future. In conversation with Cole Arthur Riley, bell hooks, and Hortense Spiller, place and belonging, time and memory, and home and embodiment are studies on reclamation to return to self and community.
