Join us for a work-in-progress showing of inCOPnegro, a new work by choreographer Dominic Moore-Dunson (Akron, OH).
The creation of inCOPnegro has been shaped by one-on-one interviews between Moore-Dunson and Akron community stakeholders, police officers, and criminal justice workers. At the Work-in-Progress Showing, attendees will be invited to listen to excerpts of select interviews to offer context for the choreography, music, and spoken word.
The all-Black cross-disciplinary cast includes Chris Coles (composer and musician), Moore-Dunson (lead choreographer and dancer), Maya Nicholson (playwright and actor), Kevin Parker, Jr. (assistant choreographer and dancer), and Floco Torres (hip hop musician).

The ice cream shop is located in Downtown Akron at 209 S Main St Suite 2, Akron, OH 44308.
