Peace, Love, and Dance Project presents, “Danse En Noir,” a film documenting nine Black female dancers expression their experiences as dancers. This film is inspired by Audre Lorde’s writings of claiming your identity.

“I am Black, Woman, and Poet—fact, and outside the realm of choice. I can choose only to be or not be, and in various combinations of myself. And as my breath is a part of my breathing, my eyes of my seeing, all that I am is of who I am, is of what I do. The shortest statement of philosophy I have is my living, or the word ‘I.’ “
