During our walking think tank meeting, new TLD collaborator and creative technologist, Jaycee Holmes and I found a park!! When was the last time you were in a swing and felt the wind tickle and soothe your skin? Many ideas were solidified and I am excited for the endless possibilities. @milesaway44105 @blprodinc @toreybest @krispatl calling the Avengers!!! #tlangdance #xr

"As America’s violent history with racism continued to surface in 2020, T. Lang’s virtual December multimedia art installation Out From the Deep: A Meditation for Them Turners unearthed a brutal past and its lingering trauma, then offered a path toward healing. Lang explored the 1918 lynching of Mary Turner near Valdosta after Turner publicly objected to her husband’s murder. She was eight months pregnant. Lang helped set a healing tone by airing the online premiere on a Wedn...esday evening traditionally Bible study night for many, especially people in Black church communities. In the work’s meditative score, sounds of scratched records, along with ragtime and blues music, seemed to penetrate decades of silence. Movement artists Morgan Amairah Burns and Xavier Lewis invited viewers into the married couple’s intimate life as sprinkles of color across the screen accented the couple’s invisible shared energies. In this space of trust, an account of the killing was narrated with an almost storybook tone. Finally, kaleidoscopic patterns in earth tones burst from the center of the screen to a hypnotic effect, like a continuous outpouring of truth and beauty that could transport the soul from darkness to light." - ArtsATL

A creative look into the road towards healing/understanding. While the company has been on pause, we opened up our lab to Atlanta creative entrepreneurs called #labretreat. The conversation with Helene was incredibly revealing and refreshing. Honest reflections, space to feel, think, question, while reading the body echos familiar themes T. Lang Dance investigates in our work. Check out the video of palm reader and author of @handfulofstars_readings Helene Saucedo. A lovely capture by @airykaht of ET Productions. an impromptu improv caught after the reading is a treat to see! #labretreat #themovementlabatl #tlangdance #visionliveshere @themovementlabatl

We observed Atlanta creative, J. Nolan experiment with his music at the lab last week! Take a look at the video to see why he creates.
