Sharon Bridgforth: From the Marrow: Volume 1, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

From the Marrow Vol. 1 collects five ritual / jazz performance texts by Sharon Bridgforth, including lovve / rituals & rage, no mo blues, dyke / warrior-prayers, blood pudding, and con flama. Rooted in blues and bristling with the voices of ancestors, lovers, aunties, neighbors, and friends, these texts document the first decade of Bridgforth’s thirty-year practice, including the founding of The root wy’mn Theatre Company. Shapeshifting, polyvocal, multi-gendered, genre-bending, nonlinear, Bridgforth’s writing innovates form the way the ocean carves the coast: with sensuality, salty humor, aching grief and rage, and with vast, various, and invariable love. This volume—the first of two—includes essays, interviews, and witnessings by Alexis Pauline Gumbs, Sonja Parks, Stacey Karen Robinson, Sonja Perryman, and Robbie McCauley.
