Danielle Swatzie — B.L.A.C.K.

Presented by Mills College Dance and Theater Studies Department and the Office of the Provost.

This online event is free and open to the public. No registration required.

Dance artist, choreographer, and creative Danielle Swatzie has graced the silver screen in the films Step Up: Highwater and AVIVA and has also appeared on Boomerang, a production of BET. Currently she is a collaborator with WaheedWorks and preparing to premiere her debut choreographic work this summer with Dance Canvas and the Atlanta Contemporary, where she is an artist in residence. That debut work, growing roots through concrete is a dance film that seeks to “understand the meaning of forming a union” through “radical connection and radical love to manifest radical change.” For Swatzie, an Atlanta native trained at University of the Arts, her dance practice aims to serve as an entry point to liberation.
