American Lullaby – Still Singing was born as a response to the political and social climate that exists in our country. Through movement, projected image and live text, the performance draws parallels between times in history where the “other” was marginalized, where turmoil brought about change and how the past is reflected in our present. This collaborative performance features IMPACT company members as well as faculty and students of the Colorado State University Dance Program. The project premiered as an evening-length performance on the company in 2018 and is now being re-imagined to reflect our current struggle to hold onto democracy.

 

This iteration of American Lullaby – Still Singing was developed as Artistic Director, Judy Bejarano's project for CSU’s Faculty Institute of Inclusive Excellence and is presented as part of the university’s thematic “Year of Democracy”.
