“The Humbling or Chapter of Mama: Part 1 is a critical reflection of the joys and challenges of being a mother and a working artist. It is a piece for five dance artists; as well as my toddler and husband; and the toddler, newborn and husband of [dancer] Caroline Fermin. All work together to perform the piece. Devotion is laced throughout the work in how we engage with our children and how we continue to return to the steps we’ve laid out for ourselves.”
– Esmé Boyce
The piece was developed in part during a Baryshnikov Arts Residency (BAC Open) at Baryshnikov Arts Center, New York, NY from October – November, 2023. In addition, this project was made possible with funds from the Bronx Cultural Visions Fund, a regrant program of the Bronx Council on the Arts.
