Abstract

This essay explores conceptual terms that might surround the dancing within watery folds of "liquid blackness." A speculative invention, the essay proposes a shifting status of water-in-motion as a register for considering black faith and worldmaking through dancing. Written from a movement artist's perspective, the essay provokes with speculative formations that reveal citational activities always evident in black performance.
