SPIRIT DANCERS: Three Black female-identifying Dancers of all ages and body types who are the spirits of murdered Black women and girls both in the present day and through history.

objects, as well as emerging in and out of them. The Spirit Dancers communicate primarily through movement with the possibility of vocalizations and/or short segments of spoken text.
SPIRIT 1: Black. 20-30’s
SPIRIT 2: Black. 50’s+
SPIRIT 3: Black: Trans woman. Any age.

STORYLINE: Lauren is desperate for a girlfriend. Mark is desperate not to be a nerd. Deborah
is desperate for her kids to talk to her at the dinner table. On the surface they are a pretty typical
family. It would all be remarkably normal if it wasn’t for the fact that their house is possessed by
the restless spirits of some long ago and some recently dead women.
