Spoken word performances by Holiday Simmons and YalaniDream
Liquid Dream: Yalini Dream & Holiday Simmons aka "LiquidXun" will come together for an evening of spoken word, humor, dance, spirit & theater poured from the heart. This will be followed by discussion.
Holiday Simmons believes it is imperative for people of color, especially those who are woman-identified, trans-identified, or gender non-conforming to engage in radical explorations of their lives.
YaliniDream conjures spirit through her unique blend of poetry, theater, dance & song. Sick of bouncing between in betweens, YaliniDream lives in the borderlands where poetry is theater is love is movement is song is prayer is rebellion. She seeks justice in the lands of earth, psyche, spirit, and dream.
