This public dance is a voyeuristic journey as to what it was, is, and shall be to be a Black/African American identifying male in America. Beginning as a retrospective of the civil rights movement, this work will meld the voice of Martin Luther King Jr. and other civil rights leaders with a pulse-driven score and the view of the world through the artist’s perspective. The artist confronts the systematic eradication and displacement of black males in local communities and abroad and forces a conversation about it.

Considered a pioneer in the Pittsburgh dance scene, Nick M. Daniels is the founding Artistic Director of the D.A.N.A. Movement Ensemble (Dancers Against Normal Actions) which he started in 1991.
