Location 10: Turtle Pond/Front of Lincoln Statue — Indigo Sparks Title: “it's a matter of the soul” (excerpt) Choreographer: Indigo Sparks Performer: Indigo Sparks Styling: Michael Aidoo Sound: “Life Has Its Trails” by Dorothy Ashby Notes: "it’s a matter of the soul" is a live solo performance using voice and improvisational movement to amplify joy. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the myriad of attacks on our civil liberties in this country, this piece dares to reimagine the American Dream. What if we had a chance to start all over? How do we tap into that part of ourselves that makes us want to form community, and to hold space for each other in times of uncertainty, to work towards the creation of a shared vision, to build a world? Featuring music by Dorothy Ashby, this work generates a space for unapologetic curiosity and play.
