A queer black operatic requiem for piano and voice that asks us to stay in the hold of the slave ship, that tries to understand the connection from the slave ship to the prison.
Goodwin’s writing emanates from the social life of poetry, from a condition of entanglement before historically racially-specific forms of representation. Another word for this emanation is breath.

Underground movement legend boychild hosts this workshop—on improvisation, cosmetics, movement and lip-sync.
Investigate film as language, via the language of film reduced to the basic units of film and language. A film as text in which each frame is a single word.
