Kelley tapped into her ancestral roots to create a performance documentary style film that will feature members of Spelman Dance Theatre, interviews from Author and Professor Emeritus at Temple University Dr. Brenda Dixon Gottschild, 2017 Outstanding Research in Dance award from the Congress of Research in Dance, Dr. Thomas F. DeFrantz from Northwestern University, and a plethora of colorful, audacious, powerful, sensual, and beautiful displays of how the ethnographical essence of Black womanhood always survives in spite of societal constructs, co-option, and appropriation. The films research focus surrounds the theory of Diasporic Spidering and Black Performance.
