A Day of Performance that Surpasses Boundary
Please join us in celebrating migration as integral to the DNA of America, in a day that has humanity at its core: migration as the movement that is human life, the reality of ourselves, a shaper of evolution.
On Saturday, October 2, 2021, dancers, musicians, filmmakers, poets and immigration advocates will gather in community at Judson Memorial Church around the urgent issue of humanizing our immigration system. We ask the question what it means to engage ethically with another person’s history, and how that might transform us individually and as a society.
Conceived, directed and produced by dance maker Richard Colton, in collaboration with Judson Memorial Church, the event benefits New Sanctuary Coalition, New York Immigration Coalition and UnLocal, three dynamic New York-based organizations that create support systems for those navigating the immigration system.
