It’s a tale of matrilineal cycles, healing, and heritage. A dance film that takes a look at the multi-generational dynamics of African American women. We try our best for the ones we love, but we don’t always get it right. I tried so hard for you.

Set in a replica of a grandmother's living room, the film consists of three overlapping solos, each representing a different generation. Harnessing the vast movement knowledge of our diaspora, dancers perform a blend of movement styles including post-modern, house, West African, and Afro-Latin techniques.

Conceptualized by Marcus Norris (Music Composer), Neima Patterson (Director/Choreographer), & Tula B. Strong (Director/Choreographer). Movement composition crafted in collaboration with choreographers & cast.
