There is a gravitas in the seductive narratives and captivating kinetics of this collaborative company of women. As our name suggests, INSPIRIT creates contemporary dance works imbued with spiritual exuberance, ancestral strength and startling perception. The works created by and for the company consistently stretch the artists’ understanding of body and performance. There exists an ephemeral correlation between the two, but the artistry created by INSPIRIT attempts to make that correlation more tangible. The rich movement vocabulary draws from the ensemble’s wide-ranging experiences, from postmodern forms to traditional West African dance, from ballet to yoga; galvanized through Christal Brown’s Liquid Strength technique. It is the belief of the company that technique is a journey. INSPIRIT seeks to expose the tools we have within in order to create a more succinct and fulfilled performance both on stage and in life. The multi-dimensional dance works in addition to engaging with the community forge a visceral and emotional connection by expressing our collective hopes, struggles and truths.
