Freedom Dance II by Adejoke Tugbiyele embodies improvised/experimental movement towards reclaiming the female body in personal and political dimensions – undoing false historical narratives and breaking free from boundaries/ limitations through dynamic collaborative performance and story-telling. Seeking to move beyond labels around sexual identity and towards the strength of the heart and mind, it also explores levels of fluidity embedded in the dualities of masculine/feminine, through the play of light/dark, movement/stillness, object/space.
