The Declaration Series is a 3-part work that takes the audience on a journey from coming-of-age, nature vs. nurture, to our relationship with not just ourselves but our home. The first in the series, I Define, speaks to our internal mirror as it relates to our outward reflection and projection of Self. The second, Identifying, taps into the internal conflict that informs who you are and what you are becoming. The final piece, My Petition, takes that a step further, exploring how to love where we are through the difficulty of unrequited devotion.
Safe Space expands
upon the original, singular concept that displays
this journey from the perspective of the community.
When confronting the truth, leaning into the
community is a matter of survival. The work
highlights the unburdening that results when a safe
space within the community is made. TDE
challenges social constructs of how people of
different ages, gender, and familial roles are
conditioned to process loss.
Two Hearts choreographed and performed by Winston Dynamite Brown and Latra Ann Wilson (start time @7:48)
This work is an investigation into the world of friends and the internal/external barriers established to serve as a source of protection and survival. Barriers builds and divides the space as a way to create visible and visceral connections.

Navigating grief’s stages and acknowledging the foundation of our upbringing explains why this work begins and ends with gospel music. The church is synonymous with how we access, release and share our collective and communal grief.
Wabash 64130 is a work that introduces “The Stella Seven '' which are: Winston’s mother, Georgia Marie Birks Brown, and her 6 older siblings. Wabash 64130 also shines a light on their unique relationships to each other, as they were all born within a 10 year timeframe. The initial inspiration came from images (photographs) found of the 7 siblings; imagining the moments that happened prior to and after those images were captured.
