This work is a dance film based on themes of understanding past childhood experiences in order to practice the act of forgiveness. These themes are important to my thesis because of the struggle I have experienced with building a relationship with my mother due to past events. At the beginning of my process, I listened to a lot of R&B music, read books on forgiveness, improvised in my room and journaled to release my feelings. Different artists that have inspired me while creating are Frank Ocean, Samoht, Beyonce, Giveon and Snoh Aalegra. While moving and creating to these artists’ music, I felt free and connected with my body in the world as it allowed me to be comfortable with who I am. These songs have really helped me to find myself and get through hard times. My goal for this project is to be able to share my story as a way to cope and move on from my past experiences while demonstrating different ways of forgiveness, so that others with similar situations have tools to let go of grudges and past indiscretions. With this public presentation, I hope to engage with others in meaningful dialogue about the different acts of forgiveness.
