The young choreographer, social activist, Jamaican native living in Brooklyn, Marguerite Hemmings, tops this month’s calendar, and there are two chances to see her this month. At JACK (Feb. 2-3), as part of their yearlong series, “Reparation365,” Hemmings will present “to make ready again,” and at Gibney Dance (Feb. 23-25), “we free.” Hemmings describes “to make ready again” (referring to the etymology of the word “reparation”) as “a non-performance…a call to a very very very obvious collective action.” While “we free” “…focuses on what liberation means for the millennial generation…[and]…is centered in the livelihood and reparation of the African continent and diaspora.” For Hemmings, “we free” is also “…a social experiment, a conversation, a non-performance, a call to action, a bashment party, an ode to and in moments a critique of, the millennial generation and what we are doing, right now, to be free,” notes the release. The first installment of “we free” was shown at Gibney Dance’s “Double Plus Series.” curated by Jawole Willa Jo Zollar. Since then, iterations have been shown at Brooklyn Museum, BRIC Arts Media and MoCada. For more information, visit www.jackny.org and www.gibneydance.org.
