I Remember What It Smelt Like When You Walked Through The Room

Composition and Sound Design: Adam Torres

Choreography: Daezhane Day

“I Remember What It Smelt Like When You Walked Through The Room discusses the trauma in black children witnessing substance abuse in their parents. This exposure therapy approach relives the most tender moments as an adult, and as a child, seeing myself as a memory but also as a reflection of who I have become. Combining the deep metaphysical experience and rhythmic pulses that live within hip hop and contemporary performance, this work will fuse the two aiming to bridge these current movement influences with a creative process that invites each dancer to excavate their own memories, through unspoken but deep connection between the dancers and the audience.”
