Sean McLeod’s “UnMuddying the Water” is a work in progress. Seen here performed by the Kaleidoscope Dance Theatre in a showing at the New York Dance Festival @newyorkdancefestival with the special guest, Ballet Legend Karen “KB” Brown. The beautiful score was written, played, and performed by the immensely talented Kim Kalesti! The work is about racism and the confusion, pain, isolation, and death caused by It. It is told in movements entitled; ageism, the classicism of roles, and captures to the breathless impacts on women, and specifically on Black women. The role of man is undetermined and there is a need of a God...dess to make sense of it all; while one single girl again finds her greatest gift to mankind: compassion.
