Flyaway Hopes You Enjoy
In Place, Shelter, Again
a little home dance video
 
When you’ve been living constantly inside the same walls for almost a year; When you hear about virus mutations and vaccine delays; When a ceremonial congressional count turns into a siege; When you see 6MWE casually on t-shirts; When you grasp the distress your Black and Brown friends are living through right now.

This is when you dance, where you can.

 
Dance: Jo Kreiter
Music: Therese Wong
Film Editing: Megan Lowe
