Saturday,March 2, 2024 -- 1:30-3:30

PILLARS explores how principles of Listening, Sourcing, and Collective Leadership are critical anchors work of 7NMS. PILLARS is featured programming in the 10th anniversary B-Series Festival at The Dance Center of Columbia College Chicago -- B-LONG: Honoring and Examining Lineage, Legacy, and Belonging in Hip Hop and Street Dance Culture, co curated byDaniel “BRAVEMONK” Haywood and Kelsa “K-Soul” Rieger-Haywood with Dr. Imani Kai Johnson and Amina Norman-Hawkins. Beginning with a short performance excerpt of 7NMS’ work Prophet: The Order of Lyricism, participants-performing artists in movement and music-bring their full selves by creating bites of art that share three self-identified pillars of their creativity. With the use of 7NMS' "Storyboarding" tool, participants will collectively notice where Listening, Sourcing, and Collective Leadership emerge as anchoring means of organizing or engaging performance.
