@bb.moves Freedom. “Bernard dances like freedom personified—earth turned flesh.” “Through his alchemical movement, Bernard redefines the meaning of “freedom.” He reframes, reclaims, renegotiates, and conjures a version of Freedom that he not only has a right to, but that his own luminous Black body radiates.” - Molly Rose-Williams, reviewing Queering Dance Festival (April 2022) What a beautiful reflection… Thank you @queeringdancefestival for the opportunity. #Anew #bbmoves #dance #song #freedom #BlackQueerArtist 📸: @robbiesweeny https://www.instagram.com/p/CeQKvmHLh2B/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
