Through movement, poetry, and oration, students explored their individual and collective experiences of people living in the United States of America in the spring Princeton Atelier course, “Our Embodied America: A Collaborative Workshop of Dance and Poetry.” Led by choreographer Kyle Marshall and creative director/poet Edo Tastic, students built their own choreographic structures, poetic works, and visual stories informed by the Declaration of Independence, iconic American poetry, and Fredrick Douglass’ 1852 keynote address, “What to the Slave is the 4th of July?”. This public presentation is a collection of the students’ work: their document of our status as a nation.
