An ever changing story about resilience, female empowerment and freedom, I Am Carisma is an anti-tragedy choreographed by Green Room award winning choreographer and curator Jonathan Homsey.

An ode to a loved one, this performance is inspired by the passing of Jonathan’s close friend, Carisma – a fellow community member and dancer in the naughties.

Through the art of dance freestyle and improvisation, waackers MaggZ and Marnie Newton and locker Kerrtu Luik will take street dance vocabulary and flip it on its head through complex tasks inspired by contemporary dance. The dance trio will receive musical, emotional and anatomical instructions in an earpiece, allowing a symphony of limbs to emerge as they lock, waack, gyrate and celebrate their bodies.
