Excerpt:

Brinae Ali begins the show by inviting everyone gathered in the Creative Alliance theater—audience, dancers, musicians together—to call in our ancestors. “To whom you are their legacy,” she reminds us. The names we say ripple across the room, changing something in the air. It is late February 2025, the premier night of The Baby Laurence Legacy Project: Tracing Steps, Ali’s epic two-hour performance three years in the making, yet as the interdisciplinary artist begins to dance, I can feel the separative notions of time and place bend to the summoning of her feet.
