| dc.description | Queer/of African descent/woman centered/multi-disciplined/about Spirit...delta dandi is a living cacophony of monologues, chants, choral tellings, blood memories dance and song. Through glimpses of the transmigration of one Spirit’s many lives/delta dandi asks how does collective grief and trauma inform the Black-American experience? What must a Soul do to heal? What is the traditional role of Queers in ritual?. A re-imagining of sacred concerts and tone poems that jazz icons Duke Ellington and Mary Lou Williams innovated/delta dandi is ritual jazz theatre conjuring transformation and Love.
