Me and Jesus and Prince and Captain Jean-Luc Picard in a one Bedroom apartment in the Bronx
Me and Jesus is a solo performance from choreographer, dancer, and facilitator Shavon Norris that explores the sounds, words, languages, doctrines, people(s), places, and objects that flooded her developing mind, body, and spirit. It is a love letter and a challenge to the biological, cultural, and historical artifacts and fossils in her blood and in her vision. Learn more about Shavon Norris and this project on the Cannonball website.
