MFA Student Kierra Williams premieres her dance film The Top Deck, which is a reimagination of a performance aboard the ships of the Middle Passage, where enslaved individuals were forced to dance for the gaze of Europeans. Through a disturbing chant, “It’s a Friday,” rooted in her childhood, The Top Deck transforms a narrative of objectification into one of resistance, self-expression and celebration.
