BREAKDOWN
WHAT TO SEND UP WHEN IT GOES DOWN is a play-pageant- ritual-homegoing celebration meant to disrupt, honor, and reclaim. An attempt to honor those lost to racist violence in America, the piece uses language, song and movement as a means of reflecting in order to cleanse and uplift. The goal is cleansing/catharsis through the exercise of viewing and participating in the piece, while also making space for collective emotions following tragedy.
The Movement is committed to diversity, equity, inclusion and the creation of brave and safe spaces for all artists. We respect all aspects of identity including age, race, sex, gender, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, marital status, ability, and more.
