Clad in boxing gloves, football pads, and sacred West African gris-gris (or talisman), Zimbabwe-born, Brooklyn-based choreographer Nora Chipaumire is joined by the specters of her estranged father and they teeter between combat and play, exploding and exploiting stereotypes of black manhood in an uncompromising exchange.

portrait of myself as my father is a National Performance Network (NPN) Creation Fund Project co-commissioned by MDC Live Arts in partnership with 651 ARTS, Miami Light Project, Columbia College Chicago, Office of the Arts at Georgia Tech and NPN. For more information: www.npnweb.org.
