Join us in dancing through prison walls towards freedom and justice.

Dancing Through Prison Walls is a California-based dance and performance project whose mission is to dance with, choreograph with, and tell stories within embodied carceral landscapes and beyond, amplifying the voices of incarcerated individuals and addressing mass incarceration. This event centers a screening of the award-winning dance documentary film, Undanced Dances Through Prison Walls During a Pandemic (2021). The film highlights six choreographies written by incarcerated dancers from their bunks inside prison and sent out to “the free world.” The dances are embodied and brilliantly performed by members of the Dancing Through Prison Walls community with deep knowledge in a diversity of styles including hip-hop, breaking, tap, performance art, quebradita, spoken word, butoh and contemporary dance. Following the film, Artistic Director Suchi Branfman hosts a community discussion with the Dancing Through Prison Walls team of artists.
