MoveOn and many other progressive organizations suggested gatherings on the day after the election for “Solidarity, Resistance, and Resolve.”\u00a0 I signed up to have one at Neskaya at 7PM, but it was really too late (4PM) to let people know. \u00a0So two of us danced in solidarity with vigils all over the country.<\/p>\n
Christine and I lit candles for the four directions. We did (surprise!) Solidarity, and Elm Dance (In honor of Joanna Macy’s work<\/a> with the survivors of Chernoble).<\/p>\n We also danced Bound for Freedom<\/a> (a Civil Rights song by Pat Humphries, sung by Magpie)\u00a0to which I choreographed a dance based on Nia<\/a> movements. \u00a0Best part is doing kicks on the words “I will organize for justice, I will raise my voice in song, and our children will be free to lead the world and carry on.”<\/p>\n The final dance we did was “Break the Chain” from V-Day several years ago.\u00a0 It felt really great!<\/p>\n
