Reggie Wilson/Fist & Heel Performance Group
Danspace Project
January 7 – 12

As part of American Realness 2019, Wilson’s …they stood shaking while others began to shout returns to Danspace Project where it premiered as part of the twelfth artist-curated Platform entitled “Dancing Platform Praying Grounds: Blackness, Churches, and Downtown Dance (Platform 2018),” curated by choreographer and artistic director of Fist & Heel Performance Group. “…they stood shaking while others began to shout is a dynamic tapestry that recalls the past into the present moment. This work is influenced by Wilson’s ongoing research related to Ring Shouts and traditional American Baptist, Trinidad and Tobagonian Spiritual Baptist, and Shaker praise songs. Major inspirations are the Black Shakers, particularly prominent Shaker Eldress, Mother Rebecca Cox Jackson; the Ibeji, an orisha (god) of the Yoruba religion that is represented by twins; the challenges of duets and pairing; and the 1995 work, The Littlest Baptist – Wilson’s 1st attempt at incorporating his field research of Black shout traditions into contemporary experimental performative theater,” according to the release.  The performers are members of Fist & Heel Performance Group: Hadar Ahuvia, Yeman Brown, Paul Hamilton, Michel Kouakou, Clement Mensah, Gabi Silva, Annie Wang and Michelle Yard and features live vocals by Rhetta Aleong and Lawrence Harding.
