Moving Spirits to Enlightenment

Moving Spirits, Inc., Tamara Williams, choreographer along with Jonathan Lassiter, Sydnie Mosley, Andre Zachary, A. Nia Austin-Edwards and other creative artists. 

Moving Spirits to Enlightenment is a dance event event paying homage to Mike Brown, Eric Garner, Akai Gurley, Tamir Rice, Ayana Jones, Rumain Brisbon and countless other black lives. Dance solos, quartets and trios will be divided between moments of audience participation and interaction as well as spoken word and poetry. Singing, chanting and additional vocals from the 1960s civil rights movement and the current civil rights movement will accompany the event. Moving Spirits to Enlightenment will also educate through the distribution of cards listing citizens’ rights and statistics about the militarization of police departments to keep the focus on police brutality and the betterment of black lives.

Moving Spirits, Inc. is a modern dance organization founded by Tamara L. Williams in Brooklyn, NY. We believe that the creative arts should be used as a vehicle to bring awareness to social justice issues and obstacles impacting our communities.
