Exploring the history and physicality of majorette dance, with a team of Southern Black femmes embodying the movement of their girlhood.
About this Event

Major is a dance theater project exploring the history and physicality of majorette dance, with a team of Southern Black femmes embodying the movement of their girlhood to answer the questions of their present. Major preserves, transforms, and continues majorette legacy by integrating majorette movement, documentary theater, a live marching band, and an online interview-based archive. Through investigations of physical memory, sexuality, and sensuality, Major preserves and proliferates the creative practices and stories of the folks who taught the team how to be proudly Black and proudly femme.
