Speakeasy: Conjuring the Collective: Womxn at Sundance

#SundanceSpeakeasy

Join us for an evening of dynamic performance and energizing conversation. Continuing our tradition of gathering and celebrating the womxn in our Festival community, this year’s event will reclaim the idea of a coven as a source of magic, healing, and power.

We’ve devised a virtual speakeasy featuring performances from an array of talented womxn from the Festival and beyond, honoring a multiplicity of perspectives through our myths and stories, dance, art, music, and culture. Theater directors nicHi douglas and Annie Tippe collaborate on creating unique ways to bring womxn together and creatively respond to an intentional prompt for 2021. So light a candle, prepare a nightcap, and settle into Conjuring the Collective!

Guests include: A very special appearance by recording artist Brittany Howard, poet Apiorkor, poet Ryka Aoki, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and Artistic Director Emerita Judith Jamison/ (Ailey), director Siân Heder, and actor Marlee Matlin (CODA), actor Rita Moreno (Rita Moreno: Just A Girl Who Decided to Go For It), actor SOKO (Mayday, The Blazing World). Collectives including Brown Girls Doc Mafia, Film Fatales, FWD-Doc, and XRCoven will also participate, as well as a dance performance by Charisma, with remarks from Pat Mitchell and Amy Redford.

While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
