Former Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater dancer Hope Boykin weaves a gentle and affecting tale of community, family, and growth that illustrates the African proverb, “it takes a village to raise a child.”
To a score composed and performed live by Sweet Honey in the Rock—an all-female African American a cappella ensemble—Boykin casts the dancers and singers as members of a society who unite to move a young girl forward in wisdom and grace.
